Ralph was “discovered” by members of the ABC Casting and Development Department, when they attended a comedian’s showcase, – the rest they say is network history.
Ralph’s many television appearances have enabled him to highlight his talents, performing character comedy, to a broader audience. Following in the footsteps of his idols, Bill Cosby and Jonathan Winters. In addition to acting, Ralph’s passion for performing stand-up comedy live remains close to his heart. In fact, he continues to perform in sold-out clubs across the country when not making television appearances. It wasn’t until Ralph saw Eddie Murphy perform live that he was inspired to pursue stand-up comedy.
