Sinbad - Squeaky clean!! A popular comedian, actor and commercial spokesperson, Sinbad entertains audiences with his unique and hilarious humor. The tall, imposing black comedian and comic actor, Sinbad (born David Adkins) began his career in 1983 traveling the USA with his act, what he has come to refer to as his "Poverty Tour". A stint as a champion on the syndicated variety series "Star Search" helped raise his profile and led to his being cast as Redd Foxx's foster son on the short-lived ABC sitcom "The Redd Foxx Show" (1986).

Sinbad spent four seasons (1987-91) as the kindly dorm director and community center manager on the NBC sitcom "A Different World". He has hosted countless TV specials, and performed his solo shtick around the country and on several HBO specials. In 1993, he headlined his own short-lived Fox sitcom "The Sinbad Show".

A minister's son, Sinbad originally intended to be a basketball player until a college knee injury halted his athletic career. A stint in the US Air Force followed before the aspiring comic pursued show business. After his initial success on the small screen, he made his film debut as a stand-up comedian in "That's Adequate" (1989). His first acting role of note was as one of the football players in "Necessary Roughness" (1991). Small roles in "Coneheads" and "Meteor Man" (both 1993) followed before Sinbad landed his first starring role in "Houseguest" (1995). Demonstrating a genial, engaging quality as a dreamer whose schemes generally backfire, he successfully played off co-star Phil Hartman. Sinbad was again well-cast as a Secret Service agent who befriends the President's neglected son in "First Kid" and a postal worker who proved to be Arnold Schwarzenegger's rival in obtaining an in-demand toy in the Christmas-themed "Jingle All the Way" (both 1996).

Sinbad is in the business of working with family - his brothers' Mark (personal manager), Michael (financial consultant). Donald (sound technician/photographer) and sisters' Dorothea (director of development/road manager) and Donna (publicist). Moreover, it is his family ties that encourage his clean, animated and hilariously funny comedy that is well received and in demand by audiences everywhere.
