Wayne Alphonso Brady is an American actor, singer, voice actor, comedian and television personality. Brady is most known for having hosted his own award winning daytime talk show titled The Wayne Brady Show, and hosting other hit television series like Let’s Make a Deal and Who’s Line Is It Anyways? Prior to his success in show business, Brady lived in Orlando, Florida and planned on pursuing a career in the military. However, Brady’s plans changed after a chance performance in one of his high school plays that garnered him rave reviews. After high school, Brady moved to Los Angeles where he began his acting career in theater and television.
Most recently the multitalented actor transitioned from the small screen to the stage with his sensational performance on the Tony award winning Broadway musical, Kinky Boots. Brady plays the role of Simon, a former boxer turned drag queen that goes by the alias Lola. As Lola, Simon aids a footwear designer in creating a pair of “kinky boots” that look great on women but are comfortable enough to be worn on a man.
Brady is currently single after going through a celebrity divorce. However, the comedian shares a daughter with ex-wife, Mandie Taketa and remains best friends with her. In a celebrity interview with CupidsPulse.com, Brady opened up and shared some dating advice he would offer his daughter when she becomes of age to date, saying “Don’t give anybody your time that won’t respect your boundaries and respect you as a person.” Offering such words of wisdom, perhaps this star has a chance at another celebrity marriage.
