About Tommy Davidson (taken from Wikipedia)

Davidson started his career as a stand-up comedian in the mid 1980s, performing in various comedy clubs throughout the Washington Metropolitan region, Baltimore and Philadelphia. His first major exposure came on the variety show In Living Color, where he played various characters, including his impersonations of Sammy Davis, Jr. and Sugar Ray Leonard, and being the victim of Homey D. Clown.

In 1991, he released Illin in Philly, a VHS tape of a stand-up performance, which was aired regularly on Comedy Central in the 1990s, and “On The Strength”, another stand-up performance, this time filmed in New York City. He has also appeared in the films Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, Strictly Business, Booty Call and Juwanna Mann. In 1998, he had a plantar wart removed from his left foot. The wart, described by Davidson as painful, was not serious.

Davidson provided the voice for “Oscar Proud,” the father in the Disney animated series The Proud Family. He was also a recurring character on MADtv’s Real M*****F***ing Talk sketches. In an episode of Comedy Central’s Live at Gotham, Davidson hosted the show with amateur acts trying to make names for themselves. He was also a guest on an episode of Cartoon Network’s animated/live action talk show Space Ghost Coast to Coast.

More recently, Tommy Davidson played the role of Cream Corn in Black Dynamite and has currently finished production on a full length feature with childhood friend and current roommate Steve Kuflik called Black Scabbith.

Turn right onto Roeder Road.  Drop participants.  TO EXIT YOU MUST turn right onto Fenton Street. (The Police will not let you turn around or turn left.  Right turns only.) From Fenton Street turn right onto Colesville Road.  We recommend skipping the backup on Cedar and driving another few streets and turning right onto Dale Drive.  From Dale turn right onto Wayne Avenue.  From Wayne Avenue turn left onto Fenton Street. Once on Fenton Street you drive just past Silver Spring Avenue and there is an entrance to the parking garage off of Fenton Street.
