Ever since New York native Aries Spears was 14 years old,
he has been a force to be reckoned with in the comedy
scene throughout America. His quick wit, charisma and
ferociously aggressive style of comedy have earned him
critical acclaim, high accolades, and above all, a busy
schedule. From being a regular on Fox’s Mad TV, starring
in feature films, appearing on a number of national talk
shows, and continually touring the country where he
continually sells out each and every city, Aries’ talents are
widespread as he just passed the 3 million spins played on
Pandora and his podcast is one of the "Musts" in the US.
This past summer, Aries guest starred in CNN’s “See It Loud” new summer series on the history
of Black Television which was one of their hit docuseries of 2023, alongside Amanda Seales,
Da’Vinchi, Debbie Allen, Deon Cole, Desus & Mero, Gabrielle Union, Jimmie Walker, Judge Greg
Mathis, Kevin Frazier, Loni Love, Lynn Whitfield, Mo’Nique, Naturi Naughton, Omari Hardwick,
Ray J, Ruben Studdard, Sherri Shepherd, Tatyana Ali, Tiffany Pollard, Tisha Campbell, Vivica A.

As a principal cast member on Fox’s hit sketch comedy show Mad TV, Aries brought a fresh, hip
style to the already-edgy program from the third through the tenth season. The producers
made full use of many of Aries’s talents by calling on him frequently to create new hilarious
characters and write sketches where he thrived for eight seasons.
Some of the many recurring characters that Aries is famous for on the show include: Belma
Buttons, Bill Cosby, Jesse Jackson, Mike Tyson, Walter (Crackheads), Reggie (Erascist), Dollar
Bill Montgomery, Shaquille O'Neal, The Klumps, Michael Jackson, Sisqo, Evander Holyfield, El
Diablo Negro and more. Aries also boasts a number of uproarious impersonations on the show
that include James Brown, Al Pacino, and his childhood idol Eddie Murphy. The Aries-branded
sketch “Talkin’ American” was Mad TV’s most popular bit, keeping fans tuned in and boosting
Mad’s ratings impressively on Saturday night.
Aries has also found great success in the world of feature films. At the age of 17, after being
spotted in a comedy club, Aries landed a part in the movie Home of Angels which eventually led
to a starring role alongside John Leguizamo in TriStar’s The Pest followed by the notable role as
Cuba Gooding, Jr.’s brother in Columbia’s blockbuster hit, Jerry Maguire .
Aries’ fierce momentum paved the way from features to tv and his eight seasons onM ad
TV . Aries continues to spread his comedic wings with the development of feature film projects
-- in addition to TV -- which he is currently involved in writing. He is presently developing a
feature project based on an original character that he created onM ad TV , as well as a thriller
about a young black man immersed in hip-hop culture. Additionally, Aries has made
appearances on many talk shows including:L oveline, Vibe, Keenen Ivory Wayans, Soul
Train andL ate Friday . He has also lent his voice to an animated character on C-Bear and Jamal
and had a recurring stint on Fox’sT he Best Damn Sports Show Period , where he created some
of the show’s funniest characters during his short time there.
Aries maintains a strong connection to his African roots and is involved in many charitable
events, including a number of organizations that help abused women. He feels blessed to have
been able to achieve everything that he has, but he in no way intends on stopping there. Given
the extreme growing success rate of action comedies coming out of Hollywood, it’s safe to say
that Aries Spears will be in demand for quite some time.
