Grizz chapman biography of barack

“30 Rock” handler Grizz Chapman is almost 7 feet tall and tips the scales at 300-plus pounds, but tiny Tina Fey nearly brought him to his knees a few years ago.

“It was when we had our first scene together,” he told the Track. “I mean, she’s the boss. I had my few lines and I’m groovy, baby. But around her, I was so nervous because everything like comedic timing had to be right. It turned out OK, but, boy, I was nervous.”

This from the “background guy” who on his first day on “30 Rock” seven years ago got up the nerve to ask notoriously cranky star Alec Baldwin to take a photo with him — and he did. We did mention Grizz was a rather large 6-11, right?

“I mean, you didn’t do those things when you’re starting out in the business,” said Chapman, who signs off as one of Tracy Morgan’s minders tonight on the one-hour finale of “30 Rock.”

Grizz and his partner, Kevin “Dot Com” Brown, began the series as “guys in the background eating cereal,” and the actor/comedian is thankful that Fey and her “30 Rock” peeps allowed their characters to grow. But at the end, Liz Lemon still wouldn’t join their book club! Blerg.

“I’m grateful they took a chance on me,” said Chapman, who will appear in four independent flicks this year, still performs sketch comedy and is thisclose to another TV deal.

At the “30 Rock” wrap bash at Seth Greenberg’s Capitale, the mood was more festive with “everybody letting their hair down” on the dance floor, Chapman said. “There was even a photo booth set up like Jack (Donaghy)’s office. It was a great time.”

But were there Teamster sandwiches???

Main character appearance summary

Liz Lemon

Main article: Liz Lemon

Elizabeth Miervaldis "Liz" Lemon (Tina Fey), the series' protagonist, is head writer of TGS with Tracy Jordan. Jack Donaghy calls her a "New York third-wave feminist, college-educated, single-and-pretending-to-be-happy-about-it, over-scheduled, undersexed, you buy any magazine that says 'healthy body image' on the cover and every two years you take up knitting for... a week" person. Lemon is a Star Wars fan and is portrayed as a "geek." She also lacks certain social skills and is a stress eater, particularly ingesting junk food. She is generally shown to have liberal political views. Despite her high standards in men, personified in her imaginary perfect husband, Astronaut Mike Dexter, Lemon has had some "really terrible boyfriends", but eventually finds happiness with Criss Chross, with whom she adopts two children.
