MC Chris

Christopher Brendan Ward IV (born September 2, 1975), better known by the stage name MC Chris (stylized in all lower case), is an American rapper, voice actor, comedian, and writer. He is recognized for his high-pitched voice and for blending his "geek” background with a “gangsta rap” persona, contributing to the popularization of the nerdcore genre. He has released ten albums, five EPs, one re-release, and a tenth-anniversary edition of his recordings with the Lee Majors.

Ward was born in Libertyville, Illinois. He attended the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.

Ward contributed to several Williams Street Studios shows on Adult Swim, with his most notable work being on Aqua Teen Hunger Force. He served as a production assistant and voiced the character MC Pee Pants in multiple episodes, including "MC Pee Pants," "Sir Loin," "The Last One," and "Little Brittle". He also voiced the young Carl in episode 18. Ward reprised his role as MC Pee Pants in the feature film Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters and the PlayStation 2 game Aqua Teen Hunger Force Zombie Ninja Pro-Am.

He also worked on Sealab 2021, contributing as a writer and voicing the recurring character Hesh Hepplewhite, as well as playing the twins who portray Dolphin Boy in a behind-the-scenes episode. Additionally, Ward was a production assistant and writer for The Brak Show, where he contributed to episodes such as "Brakstreet" and "Shadows of Heat," and voiced a character in "Brakstreet". He also voiced Ward Willoughby in the 2002 pilot for Evan Dorkin's Welcome to Eltingville. He further extended his contributions as a writer for Space Ghost: Coast to Coast and made a cameo in the 2003 episode "Baffler Meal."

In October 2004, he announced he would leave Cartoon Network to begin touring and focus on his music full-time.

He returned to Adult Swim in 2010 as a red Gummi bear named Gummi in Cheyenne Cinnamon and the Fantabulous Unicorn of Sugar Town Candy Fudge and, in 2013, began working on the mc chris cartoon, crowdfunding part of the pilot's production. A short pitch animation was made available online, but a full pilot was never completed.

Ward continued to focus on music, contributing theme songs for several of the SModcast Internet Radio (S.I.R.) programs, including those for the original SModcast, Blow Hard, Bagged & Boarded, and Jay & Silent Bob Get Old.

In 2018, Ward announced that the mc chris cartoon had resumed production. The project was ultimately shelved due to a combination of industry challenges, including the 2021 Hollywood strikes, disruptions in streaming services, and a downturn in the streaming industry.
