Blair Underwood

In this video, Blair Underwood is interviewed about his advocacy for spreading the awareness of HIV/ AIDS through his slogan and his social media outlets.

Blair Underwood has established himself as a charismatic and versatile actor, with the rare ability to achieve a successful acting career on stage, television, and the big screen. His success has been driven by his underlying belief that to achieve longevity in the acting business, you must diversify yourself and become as flexible as possible. Now with the release of his new book Casanegra A Tennyson Hardwick Novel, co-authored with Tananarive Due and Steven Barnes, and named the Essence Book of the Month pick, Underwood can add author to his list of accomplishments.

Underwoods first big screen role was in the movie Krush Groove. From there, he burst into the national spotlight in the NBC hit series L.A. Law. He earned a Golden Globe nomination in this role. Presently, Underwood can be seen weekly in three smash hits. He appears in ABCs drama Dirty Sexy Money as Simon Elder, a billionaire who tangles with the fictional Darling family. He also stars as a navy fighter pilot opposite Gabriel Byrne in HBOs new drama series In Treatment. Additionally, he reprised his recurring role of Mr. Harris opposite Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the CBS award-winning comedy The New Adventures of Old Christine.

Additionally, he is producing the TLC series Easy Money with his partner Tommy Morgan Jr. for their new Intrepid Inc. production company. Hes also co-executive producing the upcoming reality competition Stage Black for TV One.

Underwood has received 12 industry nods from the Golden Globes and the NAACP Image Awards, with five wins from the NAACP Image Awards, for his roles in film and television on City of Angels, Rules of Engagement, L.A. Law, Mama Floras Family, and Murder in Mississippi.

Underwood recently completed his feature directorial debut in Pittsburgh with the independent drama The Bridge to Nowhere. The film, which stars Danny Masterson, Bijou Phillips, and Ving Rhames, is the story of four blue-collar twenty-something men from North Pittsburgh who team up with a destitute prostitute to create a high-priced escort service. The dark story follows their rise and inevitable spiraling descent.
