Tracy Morgan

Tracy Morgan plays wild and unpredictable movie star Tracy Jordan in the new NBC comedy series 30 Rock.

Emmy Award winner Tina Fey (NBC's Saturday Night Live, Mean Girls) writes, executive-produces and stars as Liz Lemon in NBC's 30 Rock, a workplace comedy where the workplace exists behind-the-scenes of a live variety show. The series is told through the comedic voice of Fey and features Alec Baldwin (The Aviator, The Cooler) as Jack Donaghy, the brash new network executive who has turned the show upside down with his meddling ways.

The single Lemon is living every comedy writer's dream – head writer on a demanding, live TV program in New York City. Her life is jolted when Donaghy interferes with her show, and bullies Lemon into convincing Jordan (Morgan, Saturday Night Live, The Longest Yard) -- a wild and unpredictable African-American movie star -- to join the cast. Now Lemon must manage the unmanageable so that the show – and her dream – can go on.

As a standup comic who headlined across the country, TV audiences first met Morgan in his role as Hustleman on the hit comedy series Martin. Morgan next joined Saturday Night Live in 1996 where he appeared for seven seasons and created such memorable characters as Astronaut Jones and Brian Fellows. After leaving Saturday Night Live, Morgan went on to star in his own comedy series The Tracy Morgan Show and as the voice of Spoonie Luv on Crank Yankers.

Morgan's feature-film credits include The Longest Yard, Little Man, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back and Head of State.
