"Sinbad" began his career on "Starsearch" and was soon cast on the short lived "Redd Fox Show." Then in 1987, he was chosen for a role in the Cosby Show spinoff called, "A Different World" where he was cast as Coach Walter Oakes until the show ran out of gas in 1991. After "World," Sinbad appeared in various TV shows and movies, and in 1990, he delivered his first HBO comedy special titled, "Sinbad: Brain Damaged." He's won several "Image Awards" through his work on TV and his comedy specials and remains one of the funniest comedians in the business. Sinbad is the real deal and told us that his first love has always been stand up comedy. Lou and I had the honor to speak with Sinbad before he hopped a plane to New York to play the Fox Theatre at the Foxwoods Casino. Enjoy our interview slideshow!
