Actors Journal – Reno Wilson

Reno Wilson made his television debut on The Cosby Show, but is perhaps best known as Officer Carl McMillan on the hit CBS series Mike and Molly. He has since starred and guest-starred in dozens of television series, and is an accomplished voice-over artist who, most notably, gave voice to characters in the successful Transformers film franchise. A native New Yorker who grew up with a blues pianist father and an opera singer mother, he’s a talented singer and musician himself. A huge fan of Louis Armstrong, Wilson showed up in character as Armstrong to an audition for the musical drama, Bolden.
