Michael Anthony "Tone" Bell Jr. (born August 10, 1982) is an American stand-up comedian and actor.
The money is not my mission.
My mantra is that I can go back home at anytime. I have a degree, I am smart, and I am honest. I care about my career and what I do, yet I know my lane and where I desire to go.
As I observe my daily life and that of others, I have come to the conclusion that genuine joy is a potent mixture of harsh reality, and the realization that life can be funny.
I am inspired by the success of those that came to LA around the time that I started.
My goal is to forever do stand up.
There is a lot that I will not do in Hollywood.
I'm thankful for all of my opportunities. But I'm not trying to have a career where I am hanging on one of Dr. Drew's rehab shows. I can go home.
I love seeing the people that I have worked with reach new career heights.
I have a pretty fresh delivery. I feel that I am probably more of a dramatic actor, but I'm also a comedian. Every day I am polishing up my skills.
I don't feel that America has a black dude right now. I'm that dude.
I hate to force anything. A lot of people say that comedy is twenty percent truth, and eighty percent fallacy. I believe that you have to have lived through something to write about it.
