David Alan Grier in 'Race'

MYFOXNY.COM - Comedian and actor David Alan Grier stopped by Good Day New York to talk about his new role in the David Mamet Play "Race."

This racially driven play about a black woman accusing a white man of rape is one that will have many talking. Grier plays one of the lawyers defending the white man. It is playing at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre.

He has a new book out called "Barack Like Me: The Chocolate-Covered Truth." It's about how America has changed. Everyone wants to be black now, he says.

Grier had a Tony nomination back in 1981 and is a graduate of the Yale School of Drama.
