Brian Phelps (born Brian Wayne Phelps on May 5, 1959 in Cambridge, Illinois) is an American radio personality (disk jockey) and occasional actor, best known for the nationally-syndicated Mark & Brian morning show.
After attending Illinois State University, Phelps did commercial work and improvisational comedy before meeting his partner Mark Thompson in Birmingham, Alabama in 1986. The next year the duo moved their show to KLOS-FM in Los Angeles, where they are still based.
The enormous popularity of his radio show has given Phelps several opportunities to branch out into other entertainment media. In 1991-92 he and Thompson hosted a short-lived NBC TV series, The Adventures of Mark & Brian, based on their radio show. Phelps has also appeared in several motion pictures, notably Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday (the 1997 ninth installment in the Friday the 13th series) and The Princess Diaries (2001). He has also made numerous TV series guest appearances, including the role of Reverend Gigg LeCarp on the Comedy Central series Reno 911!.
