Deon Cole is one of the most in-demand talents on the comedy scene. Not only is he currently a cast member on four TV shows, he has also appeared in several hit feature films, released multiple standup specials, and follows a non-stop tour schedule. Armed with a “comic authority born of undeniable charisma” (AV Club), Deon’s completely unique style and delivery have made him a wildly popular performer with fans and critics alike.
In addition to hosting Face Value on BET, Deon plays the character of adjunct college professor "Charlie" on ABC's hit series Black-ish. His role on the Emmy-nominated and Golden Globe Award winning show, now in its fourth season, is a favorite, with AV Club declaring him a “scene stealer” and Variety offering “Cole reminds me of John Belushi, another performer who brought essential sweetness to his unpredictable characters, and who could make you laugh just by looking a certain way at another person on screen.” In early 2018 Deon will bring the beloved “Charlie” to Freeform in the Black-ish spinoff series College-ish. The much-anticipated half-hour comedy, which Deon will star in alongside Black-ish breakout Yara Shahidi, is a contemporary take on the current issues facing both students and administrators in the world of higher education.
