Greg Hollimon est un Acteur Américain né le 2 mai 1956 à Chicago (Etats-Unis)
Greg Hollimon (born May 2, 1956) is an actor best known for his work on Comedy Central's Strangers with Candy.
Hollimon grew up in the Chicago housing projects of Cabrini–Green, growing up alongside Ozone from Breakin'. In 1986, he began taking improvisation classes at Players Workshop, where he met Paul Dinello and, some time later, Amy Sedaris. Hollimon then began doing stand-up at a few local comedy clubs and dabbled in comedy writing, while honing his craft of improvisation at Players Workshop.
Hollimon graduated from Players Workshop in 1988 and enrolled in classes at Chicago's famed The Second City. While still taking classes, he was hired into Second City's National Touring Company, where he met Stephen Colbert. A year later, Sedaris, Dinello, Colbert & Hollimon were all touring together, performing nightly improvisational theatre at colleges & universities all over America.
After leaving Second City in 1993, he then wrote and performed in a two-man play called The RIC Show-Revelations, Indictments and Confessions with his friend and fellow actor Michael McCarthy. They performed the play to rave reviews at the Dublin Theater Festival and eventually staged the show in Los Angeles where it garnered similar accolades.
When the play closed, Hollimon returned to Chicago to work in the theater. He performed in plays, including Eugene Lee's East Texas Hot Links and Pearl Cleage's Flying West." He then moved on to film, appearing in Stephen Gyllenhaal's Losing Isaiah and Richard Pearce's A Family Thing.
Sedaris, Dinello, and Colbert created the role of Principal Blackman with Hollimon in mind for the Strangers with Candy TV series. Blackman's deep, oratorial speaking style is actually quite different from Hollimon's actual speaking voice. The second season Strangers DVD contains video of the cast's appearance at The Museum of Television and Radio; during this appearance Colbert imitates Blackman, describing his "hubris and overweening pride." (A line that's actually a Blackman quote about Jerri Blank.) Hollimon objected to the imitation, insisting that he didn't sound like that, but Colbert assured him that he did. The same DVD also features a commentary track where it is revealed that Hollimon is a very skilled rollerskater, so Sedaris, Dinello, and Colbert incorporated this talent into the show.
Hollimon's profile on the Strangers with Candy movie website offers an update on his current whereabouts: "When Hollimon is not performing or auditioning for a new project, he can be found waiting for his agent to call, or at the bottom of the ocean - scuba diving in the warmer waters of the Atlantic (ahem) hoping that his agent will call."

Chapter 13 The chapter initially starts with Sylvester and Twan in Sylvester's car though it is not clear at first where they are going. When Sylvester tells Twan to be on his best behavior and reminds Twan about how he got sent to jail, Twan says it "was because of Roxanne and that bitch Tina", which Sylvester remembers his wife mentioning their names on chapter five. The scene soon cuts to Rosie the nosy neighbor and her husband Randolph (played by R. Kelly), who argue over Rosie spying on other neighbors.

À Chicago, le docteur Richard Kimble, un chirurgien vasculaire renommé, participe à une longue et délicate intervention chirurgicale. De retour chez lui, il découvre le corps de son épouse assassinée. Accusé du meurtre par la police, Kimble leur affirme qu'il s'est retrouvé nez à nez avec le meurtrier et qu'il s'est battu avec lui, mentionnant qu'il s'agit d'un manchot. Cependant, les inspecteurs chargés de l'enquête doutent de sa déposition et l'inculpent pour homicide, du fait qu'il est le seul héritier de la fortune de sa femme et que, par ailleurs, le soir du meurtre la police a reçu un appel téléphonique son épouse qui semble, apparemment, le désigner comme le meurtrier. Au terme de son procès, Richard Kimble est reconnu coupable et condamné à la peine de mort.
