Lance Krall (born December 9, 1970 in Monterey, California) is a mixed-race Vietnamese-American comedian and actor, television writer, director, and producer. He became well known after his portrayal as "Kip" in the role in faux-reality show "The Joe Schmo Show".

Background

With his father, John Krall, being a Naval aviator, and his mother, Yung Krall, working as a spy for the CIA, Lance spent most of his life moving from country to country, state to state. One time after school, Lance decided to go to a friend's house before going home. Two hours later he returned home to learn that the FBI had been searching for him and shut down 3 airports in belief that he had been abducted. After retirement, the family finally settled in Atlanta, Georgia. Ten months later Lance and his family were involved in a state sized drug bust.

Career

After getting his BA in Film and Theater at Georgia State University, Krall helped found The Whole World Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia. From 1993-2000, Krall performed in improv shows and scripted plays at Whole World.

In 1999, Krall was spotted by a Hollywood talent agent, and moved out west. In late 2000 he was cast on Steve Martin's variety show, "The Downer Channel". After a disappointing four episode run, Krall tried his luck at shooting his own sketch comedy show. With the help of his old troupe in Atlanta, Krall shot a thirty minute pilot named The Lance Krall Show.

In the interim, Krall was cast in the feature "Made Up", directed by Tony Shalhoub, and later directed and starred in "Party Animals" that premiered at the Los Angeles International Film Festival and was an official selection in the Slamdance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

In 2003 Krall was cast as Kip, a flamboyant Cuban homosexual, in the reality show parody "The Joe Schmo Show". His popularity on "Joe Schmo" convinced Spike TV to greenlight eight episodes of "The Lance Krall Show."

Krall's latest project, "Free Radio," is currently airing on Vh1. "Free Radio" is a comedic, behind-the-scenes look at a struggling Los Angeles radio station and its dysfunctional staff. Krall stars as the dimwitted, laughably ignorant, yet inexplicably popular host of "Moron in the Morning." Celebrity guests from film, television, music and stage join the cast every week in the booth as they promote their latest projects while enduring Krall's clueless questions and oblivious take on the world.

Lance Krall also holds a third degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do and was ranked 6th in the nation in 1992. As a trainer, Krall coached several Junior Olympic gold medalists. In November 2005, Krall appeared as the karate instructor during Michael and Dwight's match in "The Fight" episode of "The Office".
