Andrew "Dice" Clay

Born Andrew Clay Silverstein in Brooklyn, he was still a teen when he began performing in comedy clubs in the 70s. By 1980, he had migrated to Los Angeles where he frequently performed at The Comedy Store on the Sunset Strip, but failed to be "discovered". During this time, Clay played bit parts in the features like "Wacko" and "Making the Grade" and could be seen as a bouncer in "Pretty in Pink". He also played a mobster named Max Goldman in numerous episodes of "Crime Story" on NBC during the 1986-1987 season. But his stage act slowly began to build a following when he developed the 'Dice' persona. Then in 1988, he exploded onto the national comedy scene with a breakout appearance on one of HBO's Rodney Dangerfield Comedy Specials. Soon after, he headlined his own HBO special, "Andrew 'Dice' Clay: The Diceman Cometh". Dice had his first starring role in the feature, "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane". Clay had two best-selling albums, "Dice" and "The Day the Laughter Died". He tried to mend fences with "Andrew Dice Clay: For Ladies Only", a 1992 HBO special, and then filmed the feature "Brain Smasher...A Love Story". For much of the next few years Clay layed low, returning in 1995 in the TV-movie "No Contest" (HBO). Soon after, Clay attempted to remake his image, dropping much of the 'Dice' persona by co-starring with Cathy Moriarty in the CBS sitcom "Bless This House" (1995-1996). Clay soon returned to series TV as a surly record company executive in the UPN sitcom "Hitz". Dice is a controversial figure, some say an acquired taste. Others fault him for going for the lowest possible denominator. Whatever the case, he has filled 20,000-seat arenas, sometimes two nights in a row, and continues to be a major draw, especially in Las Vegas. After the shock wears off, the laughter remains.
