He recently completed four seasons as the hilarious Pope of Comedy on TV One's hit show "Who's Got Jokes?", hosted by Bill Bellamy.
In the past few years Tommy has starred in over 15 films and a new TV series, "Basketball Wives."
Recently, Tommy has been focusing on building a successful career behind the camera. He has directed and produced several webisodes, television dramas, and sitcom pilots: including "Blvd West", "Ancestors", "Comedy Camp", and "Flipping Bird", and "Bird & Brick." He directed and produced seven films, "Switching Lanes" being the most recent. Mr. Ford joined the cast of three wonderful television productions on Uplifting Network: "Sugar Mamas", "To Love and to Cherish", and "In the Meantime."
Whether playing Tommy on FOX's hit "Martin", displaying a versatile style on FOX's drama "New York Undercover," or recurring as the fun-loving father on UPN's "The Parkers" Ford constantly makes changes in his career and finds success in any endeavor he chooses to take on. Following a long- time dream, he launched a series of award-winning children's books designed to promote healthy, spiritual, and non-violent living while guiding young people to become better people.
He has been involved in numerous legitimate theater productions for which he has received tremendous critical acclaim for his producing, directing and acting efforts. Among those productions are "Jonin", "South of Where We Live" (Drama Logue Award, Image Award nominations), "Monsoon Christmas" (Drama Logue & Image Award), "Living Room" (Image Award nomination), and "Distant Fires" (Drama Logue & Image Award nomination) among others.
Tommy is excited to introduce two variety talk-shows and a documentary that he is filming in Atlanta: "Don't Be Stupid" is best described as "Bill Maher meets Chelsea Lately on collard greens"! And "Spoken Word With Hank Stewart the Poet" highlights amazing poets and spoken-word artists.

Vulich was an immensely talented sculptor and make-up effects wizard whose fertile imagination gave rise to numerous monsters and aliens for creature features and episodic television. He drew much of his early inspiration from Tom Savini with whose crew he initially worked on monster effects for George A. Romero's Day of the Dead (1985). In 1989, Vulich and colleague Everett Burrell struck out on their own and founded Optic Nerve Studios, specialising in the creation, sculpting and fabrication of props and prosthetics, as well as in animatronics. They did some of their best work for television, winning three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Individual Achievement in Makeup for Babylon 5 (1993) (Vulich created most of the alien make-up designs for the Minbari, Narn, Drazi and other alien races, imbuing each with distinctive expressions and physiognomies), Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997) and The X-Files (1993). Vulich's credo was to create make-up that was entirely believable, as original as possible and (in his own words) "avoided the clichés of the genre". After selling Optic Nerve to Glenn Hetrick, Vulich worked for some time as a producer and production manager for the Disney channel.- Stuart Mungall was born on 20 March 1940 in Forfar, Angus, Scotland, UK.
