Aries Spears Net Worth $8 Million
Aries Spears soon made his television debut by appearing in a stand-up comedy television series “Def Comedy Jam” created by Russell Simmons. Spears then appeared in a music television show “It’s Show Time at the Apollo”, which was his first major exposure to a large public. Spears’ true fame came in 1993, when he received an offer to portray a character in Bill Cosby’s “A Different World”. The show that ran for six seasons granted Aries Spears an opportunity to star alongside Jada Pinkett-Smith, Lisa Bonet and Jasmine Guy. Around the same time, Aries Spears began performing in some of the more known comedy clubs in the area such as The Improv and The Laugh Factory. Aries Spears has also landed roles in “The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.”, as well as a musical variety television show “Soul Train” that was created by Don Cornelius. Aries Spears’ net worth, as well as his popularity among the public began increasing at the time. One of the first major movie roles that Aries Spears was offered happened to be in a movie directed and produced by Spike Lee titled “Malcolm X”, where Spears starred alongside Denzel Washington and Angela Bassett. In 1993, Spears landed another role in a detective series titled “South of Sunset” with Glenn Frey, and since then began making regular appearances on screen.
Throughout his acting career, Aries Spears starred in such movies as “The Pest”, “The Proud Family”, and “Out-of-Sync”. Despite his portrayals of many characters, Aries Spears is perhaps mostly known as a member of a sketch comedy series called “MADtv”. Aries Spears joined the cast of “MADtv” in 1997 and was a part of the group for nearly seven seasons until he left in 2005. During his stay in the show, he managed to create some of the most known and controversial characters, including “Dollar Bill Montgomery” and James Brown Jr. Spears also became known for his talent to imitate and impersonate various celebrities, such as Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Sylvester Stallone and Jay-Z. When he left the “MADtv” show, Aries Spears returned to acting and appeared in several movies, as well as television series such as “Mind of Mencia” and “Covino and Rich”. A well-known comedian, actor and a screenwriter, Aries Spears has gathered a net worth of $8 million.
