Greg Proops



Gregory Everett Proops was born on October 3, 1957 in Poenix, Arizona, U.S. He is married to Jennifer, with whom he lives in San Francisco.

Life on Whose Line:
Greg Proops met Mike McShane during his college years (even if he dropped it after little time). When Mike joined the Whose Line cast, Greg got in immediately after. Proops and McShane had impressed Whose Line Is It Anyway? producers Dan Patterson and Mark Leveson.

Greg is often known for his constant banters with the host, Clive Anderson, about Britain vs. America. Some of the best moments were when either Clive mentioned a word and asked "Are there any in America?", or they would mention the American term.

Greg lived in London for years while recording Whose Line, in which he appeared in 50 episodes and 56 of the American Whose Line series. In the American series the Proopdog would sit in the chair to the far left, and wore a suit in every episode he starred in. In the UK version, however, we could see him wearing more flamboyant clothes.

Other credits:
Greg made several voice-over works, the most remarkable being Bob the Builder, and participated in succesful TV series such as Tru Jackson VP (where he was Max Merigan, her boss). He now has his own podcast, The Smartest Man In The World, with which he tours all around USA and the UK (plus one Proopcast from France).
