'''David Cross''' (born April 4, [[1964]]) is an Emmy-winning [[United States of America|American]] actor, voice actor, writer and comedian.

==Biography==
Cross was born in Atlanta, Georgia but grew up in Roswell, Georgia. He was part of several comedy troupes in the Boston area. Cross began his professional television career as a writer on ''The Ben Stiller Show''. Since October 2005, Cross has been appearing as Stephen Colbert's archnemesis, a fictional liberal radio talk show host named "Russ Lieber" on Comedy Central's ''The Colbert Report''.
 
David Cross later teamed up with Bob Odenkirk to produce a feature film, based on one of their ''Mr. Show'' characters, called ''Run Ronnie Run''. The film was satirical of the reality TV craze, and had cameos from many stars. However, Cross and Odenkirk came into creative conflict with the director, Troy Miller, and after nearly two years of production, New Line Cinema sent it straight to DVD. Cross was named number 85 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 greatest standups of all time. In 2004, Cross provided voices for a Marine in the Xbox game ''Halo 2'', and a [[Zero RC|store]] clerk named [[Zero]] in the game ''[[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas]]''. Both characters were often whiny and humorous in nature.
 
In October of 2005, Cross was sued by Nashville club owner Thomas Weber, accusing Cross of taping him without permission for Let America Laugh in violation of Weber's privacy rights. Weber put up a website called werenotlaughing.com, a play on the title of David's second label released album "It's Not Funny". In April 2006 the case against David Cross himself was dismissed.
