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.
