Troy Lee Winbush was born on March 12, 1970, in Harlem, New York. He attended Louis B. Brandeis High School and was known as the class clown. Troy idolized Eddie Murphy and enjoyed making his classmates laugh; however, making the class laugh and disrupting the class was not a good time for his jokes and he was constantly disciplined for his actions. At the age of 14 years old, Troy's mother enrolled him in Weist Barron acting school hoping this will allow Troy to express his humor in the proper environment and not get into trouble at school any more. That same year, Troy discovered his acting bug and booked his first movie "Who's That Girl" with Madonna; unfortunately, due to bad weather, production was moved to California and Troy was released from his first big break. A couple of months later, Troy booked the motion picture film, "The Principle". At the age of 15 years old, Troy got a recurring role on the most popular family comedy show of the 1980s, "The Cosby Show" as Denny, appearing on the series from 1987-1991. While spending the next few years working Bicoastal, Troy decided to officially move to Los Angeles in 1998.

Troy has had much success co-starring on feature films such as; John Q, The Replacement and National Treasure just to name a few. Troy has also been featured in numerous television shows; Law & Order, NYPD Blue, CSI: Miami, The Parkers, and Medical Investigation to today's hit shows including Scandal, Big Bang Theory and among other popular series. Troy has also taken his talent to the stage appearing in stage plays including (Joe Turners) "Come and Gone", Pearly Victorious, Gang on the Roof and countless others.

Today's Troy continues to successfully stay active in TV and film as well as inspiring others in his work. He spends his free time mentoring young teen boy's in group homes and encourages them to become a better man in society no matter what they've been though, they can be victorious in whatever they put their minds too. Troy also supports important causes, like breast cancer and cervical cancer. He enjoys spending time with his daughter whom he loves and supports unconditionally. On his off days you can find Troy working out in the gym or enjoying a ride on his motorcycle in the beautiful Southern California weather.
