06 Actors' Biographies (Sliders): Cleavant Derricks (Rembrandt Lee"Crying Man" Brown)
Cleavant Derricks decided to try his hand at acting when it occurred
to him that while all his friends were playing sports, he was always
playing in front of a camera. He began his career in the theatre,
performing first with local tours, then Off-Broadway productions and
later he won a Tony Award for his performance in "Dreamgirls."
His other Broadway credits include "Jesus Christ Superstar", "Big Deal",
"I Have a Dream" and "Your Arm's Too Short to Box With God." Forging his
way into television, Derricks has starred in "Drexell's Class", "Whoops",
"Roseanne" and "Something Wilder." Derricks is also a singer, whose
ability could be seen in the early show's seasons. He has in fact
released a CD and has his own official website
(http://www.cleavantderricks.com).
Derricks currently resides in Agoura Hills, CA and his birthdate is May
15th.
