Date of birth 3 May 1975
Orange, New Jersey, USA
He rates himself as a Los Angeles Lakers "freak". Away from the set, Hill still immensely enjoys tap-dancing as well as bowling, paintball games and marathon Monopoly sessions.
Dule Hill (whose first name is pronounced "due-lay") is the youngest of two sons born to his Jamaican parents (his father is an investment banker and his mother is an educator). He owes his unusual name to an aunt who discovered it during a trip to France and suggested it upon her return before his birth. He began attending dance school when he was 3 and got his first break years later when producers of Broadway's "The Tap Dance Kid" called the school in search of child dancers who could sing and act for the production. An accomplished dancer, Dulé Hill started out at age 10 in Broadway's "The Tap Dance Kid," in which he understudied Savion Glover before taking over the lead role for the national tour with Harold Nicholas. Hill has also used his talents in "The Jamie Foxx Show," "The Gregory Hines Show" and "Smart Guy" (which he also choreographed), as well in as the Broadway musical "Black and Blue" and the original cast of the Broadway show "Bring in 'Da Noise, Bring in 'Da Funk."
Hill starred as Preston Harrison in the feature film "She's All That." Among his other film credits are "Sugar Hill," in which he plays Wesley Snipes' character as a young man, and the upcoming "Navy Diver." On television, he guest starred in the series "Cosby" and the telefilm "The Ditch Digger's Daughters." His cable television appearances include the Showtime features "Love Songs" opposite Louis Gossett Jr. and "Color of Justice."
More roles followed in the musicals "Shenandoah", "Little Rascals" and "Black & Blue" and during Hill's senior year of high school, he appeared in his first feature film, Sugar Hill (1994), as the young character later played by Wesley Snipes. Hill also was seen in national commercials (such as one for Kellogg's Corn Pops cereal) and was cast as one of the "CityKids" (1993), a Saturday morning series, while he was studying business finance at Seton Hall. Hill's next career boost came with his starring role in the original cast of "Bring in Da' Noise, Bring In Da' Funk" on Broadway, as he re-teamed with Glover, but, as a result, had to abandon his college studies during his junior year. He spent two-and-one-half years in the show and earned favorable notices from casting directors, and later starred with Freddie Prinze Jr. in the hit feature film She's All That (1999). His other television credits include guest-starring shots on "Cosby" (1996), "Smart Guy" (1997) and "New York Undercover" (1994), and appearances in the TV movies The Ditchdigger's Daughters (1997) (TV), Color of Justice (1997) (TV) and Love Songs (1999) (TV) (opposite Louis Gossett Jr.). Away from the set, Hill still immensely enjoys tap-dancing as well as bowling, paintball games and marathon Monopoly sessions.
