Orlando Jones is a name you most definitely know by now, he's been a comedian, movie star, 7-up spokesman, and plenty of other things along the way. Orlando's history is a bit more interesting than your average celeb though, he bounced around as a kid because his dad was a professional baseball player with the Philadelphia Phillies, but Orlando steered away from sports and wanted to pursue a career in the arts. In the late 80s/early 90s, he formed a production and advertising company with a comedian friend and actually landed a McDonald's commercial with Michael Jordan. He also penned a couple of scripts for the hit TV show A Different World, which led to him writing a couple episodes of Roc and eventually becoming a producer on The Sinbad Show. This was all before he landed on a new sketch comedy series, which propelled him into star status on the small screen as one of the original nine cast members of MadTV. Of course he became an immediate fan favorite, landing him film roles in movies like Office Space (1999), Magnolia (1999), The Replacements (2000), Evolution (2000), the latter of which we come dangerously close to seeing his buns when they pull an alien bug out of his ass! More recently the ogle worth Orlando has been sinking his teeth into more dramatic television roles in critically acclaimed projects like American Gods, The Good Lord Bird, and Room 104 but anyone who lived in the 90s is probably going to remember the phrase "Make 7, UP YOURS!" when thinking of this sexy stud!
