Mike McShane (Julius Grayle) Born Jun 25 1955
Career highlights
American Mike will be best known - to those in the UK at least - for being a competitor on the improvisational show Whose Line Is It Anyway? between 1988-97, but Mike has also appeared as himself on programmes such as The Full Wax (1991) and Gamesmaster (1993). His acting career kicked off with Tucker: The Man and His Dream (1988), then Best Shots (1990), Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991, as Friar Tuck), The Big One (1992), The All New Alexei Sayle Show (1994), Richie Rich (1994), ER (1996), Tower of Terror (1997), Frasier (1998), Caroline in the City (1998), Norm (1999), Honey I Shrunk the Kids: The TV Show (1999), 3rd Rock from the Sun (2000), Clerks (2000-01), John Doe (2002), King of the Hill (2003), Malcolm in the Middle (2005), Lab Rats (2008), Bluestone 42 (2013), Wayward Pines (2015), Red Bird (2016) and Barbarians (2020). He also does a lot of voiceover work, including the English dub of Castle in the Sky (1986), Avenger Penguins (1993), Balto (1995), Todd McFarlane's Spawn (1997-99), the English dub of Princess Mononoke (1997), A Bug's Life (1998), Thunderpig (2002), Dave the Barbarian (2004), Holly Hobbie and Friends (2005-07) and American Dad! (2010). He also played Lloyd Burwell in 40 episodes of Brotherly Love (1995-97).
Facts
Mike might also be remembered for advertising Air Canada in TV commercials in 1996. In May 2013 BBC Radio 5 Live announced that Mike had died, but had to hastily issue an apology when it was pointed out to them that comedy actor Paul Shane had died, not Mike. Mike was known for his size, but in 2003 had his stomach surgically separated, restricting the amount of food he could consume. This resulted in him dropping from over 26 stone (165kg) to 18 stone (114kg). Here's Mike on Twitter.
