Dick graduated from Joliet West High School (Joliet, Illinois) in 1984. He was in numerous productions during high school, was well known as the class clown, and was elected homecoming king his senior year in the fall of 1983. Even in high school, Dick tended to use his name as a joke. One day while dressed in the Joliet West gold athletic sweats he pulled on a pair of red shorts over his sweats and used a red towel as a cape matching his shorts. He presented himself at school as "Super Dick." Andy Dick's high school senior yearbook picture. He currently portrays the character "Owen Kronsky" on the ABC sitcom Less Than Perfect. He is openly bisexual, and has talked about his sexuality at length in the syndicated radio show Loveline with Dr. Drew. He was once quoted on an E! television special in which he said, "I'm tri-sexual; I'm willing to try anything." David Bowie initially made that comment in 1972. Always one to make a joke out of everything and everyone he could, Dick--while introducing singer Deborah Cox at a music awards show he was hosting--cracked, "Andy Dick, Deborah Cox, I wonder if we're related". On May 15, 1999, Andy Dick drove his car into a telephone pole. He was charged with possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, driving under the influence of alcohol/drugs and hit-and-run driving. He later plead guilty to felony cocaine possession and two other misdemeanor charges--marijuana possession and possession of a smoking device--following a car crash in Hollywood. After completing an 18-month drug diversion program, a judge dismissed felony and misdemeanor drug charges against him. In 2004 Andy starred in a satirical reality television show on MTV called The Assistant. The show spoofed themes and scenes from The Apprentice, The Bachelor, and Survivor.
