Dave Coulier Detailed Biography -

David Lee Coulier (born September 21, 1959) is an American stand-up comedian and television/voice actor. He is best known for his role as Joey Gladstone on the ABC sitcom Full House. Recently, he has garnered recognition on the internet for his youth-oriented comedy website, cleanguys.TV. Coulier was born in St. Clair Shores, Michigan in 1959. He graduated in 1977 from Notre Dame High School in Harper Woods, Michigan. Coulier got his start in high school doing stand-up during the lunch hours and impersonating the principal over the school PA system. Coulier has done extensive voice work for shows including Extreme Ghostbusters, The Real Ghostbusters and Slimer! and the Real Ghostbusters (taking over the character of Peter Venkman after Lorenzo Music's departure from the role), Muppet Babies after Howie Mandel left (Baby Animal, Baby Bunsen, Bean Bunny and Uncle Statler and Waldorf, even a pre-teen Janice for one episode), Scooby and Scrappy-Doo, The Jetsons, Rude Dog and the Dweebs, Detention, and Teen Titans. However, Coulier is probably most famous for the role of Joey Gladstone on the sitcom Full House. He stayed on the show from 1987 until its cancellation in 1995. He was famous for doing voices and impressions. In addition to Full House, Coulier starred in the children's comedy series Out of Control and appeared on George and Leo and Nick Freno: Licensed Teacher. He has also hosted America's Funniest People with Arleen Sorkin and later with Tawny Kitaen and Opportunity Knocks. Additionally, he was also a voice actor in Yogi Bear and the Magical Flight of the Spruce Goose, and has voiced Felix the Cat on a few occasions. In addition to his voice work, Coulier has also taken a few acting parts appearing in the Disney Channel Original Movie's The Thirteenth Year and The Even Stevens Movie (where he had a cameo as a reality show host), as well as the Nickelodeon Original Movie Shredderman Rules. He also founded his own children's entertainment company F3 Entertainment in 2000. In 2003, Coulier appeared on the 3rd season of The Surreal Life. Then in 2006, he appeared on the TV reality show Skating with Celebrities on FOX, where he was paired with Olympic medalist Nancy Kerrigan. Currently he is a member of Duck's Breath Mystery Theater touring comedy troupe (which he claims is clean comedy but not quite as wholesome as Full House) as well as host of the series Animal Kidding. He was also a Kids Choice Awards host, and stars as Mr. Byrd in the TV movie Shredderman Rules in 2007. On June 2, 2008, Chikara Pro Wrestling announced that Coulier was elected by the CHIKARA Board of Directors as the new commissioner of the promotion, a position that he will hold for the following two years until the next election (taking place on May 25, 2010). Coulier is the successor to former Commissioner and fellow "Full House" cast member Bob Saget. Coulier's stand-up routine is centered on his ability to mimic celebrities and cartoon characters, a talent that has given him a second career in voice acting. Many of Coulier's bits involve putting well-known characters into unexpected situations; for example, there is a joke where Coulier does an impression of Elmer Fudd as he would sound if he had a hangover. As a rule, however, Coulier's material is largely family-friendly, a position he has extended to his youth-oriented comedy website, cleanguys.TV. As of April 5, 2008, Coulier is presently on tour with the Clean Guys of Comedy Tour, a family-friendly comedy group. The tour includes Ryan Hamilton from Last Comic Standing and Kivi Rogers. Coulier was married for two years to Jayne Modean and has one son named Luc. Coulier was alleged to be Alanis Morissette's first lover (they met at a hockey game) and is widely suspected to be the subject of her bitter song "You Oughta Know". He is also an avid fan of the Detroit Red Wings, especially noticed during his tenure on Full House where he would sometimes be seen with a Red Wings jersey on, as well as a poster that was hung up in his room. Coulier was a member of the Celebrity All-Stars hockey squad, along with Jason Priestley, Matthew Perry, Alan Thicke, Michael J. Fox, Michael Keaton, and Richard Dean Anderson. He also was part of the 2002 NHL All-Star Celebrity Challenge. Coulier also introduced Candace Cameron, his co-star on Full House, to NHL player Valeri Bure at a charity hockey game. Cameron and Bure started dating soon after and were married on June 22, 1996. In June 2008, Coulier was elected as the Commissioner for Chikara a wrestling promotion in Pennsylvania, he replaced fellow Full House alum, Bob Saget. After the cancellation of Full House in 1995, Coulier -- like many former sitcom stars of the time -- struggled to find prominent roles in television and film. After a brief stint in reality TV with The Surreal Life and Skating with Celebrities, Coulier continued to make regular television appearances as the host of shows like Animal Kidding and America's Most Talented Kid. He continues to tour the US and Canada as a stand-up comedian, and recently Coulier launched a youth-oriented comedy website, cleanguys.TV.
