The funny beginnings
Proops studied improvisation and acting at San Francisco State University. He has performed his stand-up act across Britain, Europe and in New Zealand. He remains best-known for appearances on Whose Line is it Anyway?, including both the US and UK versions. He reprises this role in 2004’s Drew Carey’s Green Screen Show, a show similar to Whose Line. His other credits include hosting Space Cadets, a mid-1990s science-fiction comedy game show on Channel 4 in the UK. He appeared as a panelist on the 2000 revival of To Tell the Truth. Proops also hosted two game shows: VS. in 1999 and Rendez-View in 2001. He also helped Joan and Melissa Rivers critique fashion on the red carpet for the Oscars on the TV Guide channel. In addition, Proops can be heard as the voice of Bob the Builder on the popular children’s series seen on PBS. He is also a panelist on Chelsea Handler's television show.

Voices
In addition to his stand-up and improv acts, Proops has done voice work in various films and TV shows, including the miniseries Stripperella with Pamela Anderson and Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas, as well as providing the voice for the Beed side of the two-headed announcer Fode and Beed in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace, with Scott Capurro providing the voice for Fode. He provided the voice of Bob in the TV series Bob the Builder for the four seasons of "Project Build-It". He recently started his own web show, The Greg Proops Experiment, which constitutes Proops ranting humorously about different topics in current events.
