Wayne Brady Interview
By Marsha Gosho Oakes
“It wasn’t that I ever set out to build a reputation for myself as a goody-goody but I’m a family guy; so I had a wife and especially now I’ve got a kid,” 36-year-old actor, comedian, TV personality and singer
Wayne Brady tells
SoulCulture. “You know what, maybe if I wanted more exposure then I’d be out on the street doing stupid shit but I’m pretty content and I’m happy with the life that I’ve built for myself so I don’t need to be that guy.”
You’ll remember him from hit British comedy improvisation show,
Whose Line Is It Anyway? and you may have caught his talk show,
The Wayne Brady Show. Astute viewers will have observed his penchant for singing in his improvisations and features; a subtle nod of his dream career.
That successful career in comedy took over from the original reason Brady had moved to LA all those years ago - to sing. Now, with his debut album
A Long Time Coming, Brady bares the soul he was born with.
