Biography

Raised in a small town on the Gulf Coast of Florida, Greg Pitts graduated from the University Of South Florida in 1992 with a degree in Theatre. Touring state fairs and carnivals in a tractor trailer, performing as the MC/Stuntman of a Wild West Stunt Show, he began to desire a more prominent stage. Greg found just that when he moved to Los Angeles in '94 and began training on the stage of the renowned sketch comedy/improv troupe: The Groundlings. There he trained as a performer and writer for the next three years.

Armed with these newly polished skills Greg co-created/co-wrote the critically acclaimed live sketch comedy smash "Smooth Down There" in Los Angeles. It was in '97 when his performances in that show caught the attention of agents and managers, leading to more substantial opportunities.

Pitts immediately landed starring roles opposite Damon Wayans on the FOX TV show "Damon" and soon after as John Goodman's son on the FOX comedy "Normal, Ohio." It didn't take long before his success in TV began to garner roles in film. One of his most notable film characters would be the smug talking DREW (aka "the oh face guy") in the 20th Century Fox cult film phenomenon "Office Space." The next two decades would be filled with multiple starring roles in network pilots and a wide range of projects from being a spokesperson for Washington Apples or a spoiled multi-millionaire on the Lifetime movie Maneater to a wise cracking man child on a reboot of the original Bachelor Party movie to name a few.

Prior to moving back to Florida, Pitts sold a pitch (in the room) at CBS for a half hour comedy vehicle that he would star in. After the script was not given a pilot order Greg began to focus more on his own producing and writing. Having now created and produced two short form projects, The New 20's and Water Lords, he's ready to get to work on more substantial producing projects.
