Biography
Donald Glover is an actor, producer, award-winning comedian and writer, and Grammy-nominated artist.
Glover starred in the film Magic Mike XXL, starring alongside Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello, Matt Bomer and Amber Heard.
As the writer, executive producer, and lead of his own FX half-hour pilot Atlanta, Glover played Earnest Earn Marks, a college drop-out who taps into his own musical aspirations when his estranged family member finds sudden fame. The show begins production this month.
Glover's past films include David Gelb's The Lazarus Effect opposite Olivia Wilde and Mark Duplass; Miguel Arteta's Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day; Maggie Carey's The To Do List opposite Aubrey Plaza and Bill Hader, and James Bobin's The Muppets.
On television, Glover starred for five seasons as Troy on NBC's critically acclaimed series Community created by Dan Harmon. He has also made guest appearances on Judd Apatow's HBO series, Girls, Disney XD's Ultimate Spider Man as the voice of Miles Morales, and on the cult favorite Adult Swim animated series, Adventure Time.
Glover began his comedy career under the mentorship of Tina Fey, writing for the Emmy award-winning NBC series 30 Rock, where his work on the third season ultimately earned him a WGA Award for Best Comedy Series. During this time, Glover was also named one of Variety's Top 10 Comics to Watch, filmed a half-hour and a full hour stand-up special for Comedy Central, and received the Rising Comedy Star award at the Just for Laughs festival in July 2010.
As a musician, Glover is known for his success under the stage name Childish Gambino. He released his first album, Camp, in 2011. His second album, Because the Internet, was nominated for two Grammy Awards and generated the hit song 3005.
