Comedian Alex Thomas recently came to Memphis to perform at Chuckles Comedy House. Since Thomas was in town for a few days, he took time to tour the city and hang out with the fans.
Thomas also starred in several motion pictures such as: Don’t be a menace to South Central While drinking your juice in the Hood, BAPS, The Players Club, Two can Play that Game, The Wash, Just Married, Women Thou art Loosed, Why do Fools fall in Love and several other films. With film being his passion, Thomas was no stranger to TV. He did several guest appearances on shows such as: Moesha, Martin, The Parkers, All of Us, Hangin with Mr. Cooper and then finally got his own shot as a series regular on The Jamie Foxx show, where he played the role of “Phil” aka “Phino”. Alex was also a recurring character on the hit show, Family Guy, as well as other popular animated series including: Batman and Beyond, King of the Hill and The Cleveland Show.
He made a few local media rounds…
We spotted him down at the Lorraine Motel/Civil Right Museum:
Memphis is so small and tightly connected there is no telling who you may run into. It appears Alex knows a thing or two about Grizz Nation and how he gets down. We spotted him with one of our favorites Mr. Mike Conley.
And of course, it is only natural that you he would run into Mr. Dennis Graham (Drake’s dad). Of course, Grahame be all over the city.
Although, I did not get to check out the show, I heard he did an amazing job and the fans loved him.
Lastly whose bright idea was it to send Alex to the Southland Mall…. (no comment).
Alex wrapped up his visit with this message for the Memphis fans.
