Chi McBride made his acting debut in the 1992 TV movie Revenge of the Nerds III: The Next Generation and has worked regularly ever since. So it seems fair to ask if that job opened the door to other opportunities. McBride lets loose a long, deep laugh. "Yeah, they were sending me offers after Revenge of the Nerds III! In fact, I changed my number and moved several times because every time I opened my door, there was some producer standing there trying to get me to do his picture!" He waits a moment before ending with a perfectly deadpan "What are you, goofy?" It's the kind of no-nonsense response you might expect from one of McBride's characters: honest, blunt, and hilarious. He brings these qualities every week to the ABC comedy Pushing Daisies as Emerson Cod, a private investigator partnered with Ned (Lee Pace), a lovesick pie-maker who can raise the dead.
