Screenwriter, Actor Born: August 24, 1973 in Washington, D.C. Biography:Like future co-stars "Martin Lawrence", "Eddie Murphy", and "Norm MacDonald", "Dave Chappelle" entered the movie business via standup comedy. Born in Ohio and raised in Washington, D.C., Chappelle studied acting at D.C.'s Duke Ellington School of the Arts and honed his skills as a laid-back yet socially attuned comic in the city's clubs. After making his movie debut as one of the merry men in "Mel Brooks"' "Robin Hood: Men in Tights" (1993), Chappelle concentrated primarily on his comedy career and appeared regularly on late night and cable television. He returned to films with small yet key parts in two summer blockbusters: as a comic who helps spoil a date for "Murphy"'s rotund scientist in "The Nutty Professor" (1996) and as a manic inmate aboard the hijacked convict plane in "Con Air" (1997). Hitting his movie stride in 1998, Chappelle co-wrote and starred in the prison/pothead caper "Half Baked"... Full Biography
