His quick wit\, charisma and ferociously aggressive style of comedy have earned him critical acclaim\, high accolades\, and above all\, a busy schedule. From being a regular on Fox’s Mad TV\, starring in feature films\, appearing on a number of national talk shows\, and continually touring the country where he continually sells out each and every city\, Aries’ talents are widespread as he just passed the 3 million spins played on Pandora and his podcast is one of the “Musts” in the US. \nThis past summer\, Aries guest starred in CNN’s “See It Loud” new summer series on the history of Black Television which was one of their hit docuseries of 2023\, alongside Amanda Seales\, Da’Vinchi\, Debbie Allen\, Deon Cole\, Desus & Mero\, Gabrielle Union\, Jimmie Walker\, Judge Greg Mathis\, Kevin Frazier\, Loni Love\, Lynn Whitfield\, Mo’Nique\, Naturi Naughton\, Omari Hardwick\, Ray J\, Ruben Studdard\, Sherri Shepherd\, Tatyana Ali\, Tiffany Pollard\, Tisha Campbell\, Vivica A. Fox and many more. \nAs a principal cast member on Fox’s hit sketch comedy show Mad TV\, Aries brought a fresh\, hip style to the already-edgy program from the third through the tenth season. The producers made full use of many of Aries’s talents by calling on him frequently to create new hilarious characters and write sketches where he thrived for eight seasons. \nSome of the many recurring characters that Aries is famous for on the show include: Belma Buttons\, Bill Cosby\, Jesse Jackson\, Mike Tyson\, Walter (Crackheads)\, Reggie (Erascist)\, Dollar Bill Montgomery\, Shaquille O’Neal\, The Klumps\, Michael Jackson\, Sisqo\, Evander Holyfield\, El Diablo Negro and more. Aries also boasts a number of uproarious impersonations on the show that include James Brown\, Al Pacino\, and his childhood idol Eddie Murphy. The Aries-branded sketch “Talkin’ American” was Mad TV’s most popular bit\, keeping fans tuned in and boosting Mad’s ratings impressively on Saturday night. \nAries has also found great success in the world of feature films. At the age of 17\, after being spotted in a comedy club\, Aries landed a part in the movie Home of Angels which eventually led to a starring role alongside John Leguizamo in TriStar’s The Pest followed by the notable role as Cuba Gooding\, Jr.’s brother in Columbia’s blockbuster hit\, Jerry Maguire. \nAries’ fierce momentum paved the way from features to tv and his eight seasons on MadTV. Aries continues to spread his comedic wings with the development of feature film projects — in addition to TV — which he is currently involved in writing. He is presently developing a feature project based on an original character that he created on Mad TV\, as well as a thriller about a young black man immersed in hip-hop culture. Additionally\, Aries has made appearances on many talk shows including: Loveline\, Vibe\, Keenen Ivory Wayans\, Soul Train and Late Friday. He has also lent his voice to an animated character on C-Bear and Jamal and had a recurring stint on Fox’s The Best Damn Sports Show Period\, where he created some of the show’s funniest characters during his short time there. \nAries maintains a strong connection to his African roots and is involved in many charitable events\, including a number of organizations that help abused women. He feels blessed to have been able to achieve everything that he has\, but he in no way intends on stopping there. Given the extreme growing success rate of action comedies coming out of Hollywood\, it’s safe to say that Aries Spears will be in demand for quite some time.
