SINBAD
David Adkins (born November 10, 1956) — known by his stage name Sinbad — is an American stand-up comedian and actor. He became well known in the 1990s from being featured on his own HBO specials, appearing on several television series.

Under the professional name Sinbad, which Adkins chose out of admiration for Sinbad the Sailor in order to stand out in the entertainment industry, he began his career appearing on Star Search. Sinbad won his round against fellow comedian Dennis Miller, He soon was cast on 'The Redd Foxx Show', a short-lived sitcom, playing Byron Lightfoot. 

In 1987, Sinbad landed a role in 'A Different World', a spin-off of 'The Cosby Show' built around Lisa Bonet's character Denise Huxtable. Previously, Sinbad appeared in two different one-off roles on 'The Cosby Show', as a principal and as "Davis Sarrette". Huxtable attended Hillman College, a fictional historically black college. While Bonet only stayed with the program for a season, Sinbad stayed with the cast from 1988 until 1991 as "Coach Walter Oakes".

By the early 1990s, his popularity had grown enough for Fox to green-light 'The Sinbad Show', which premiered September 16, 1993. In the self-titled series, Sinbad played 35-year-old David Bryan, a bachelor who decides to become a foster parent to two children after becoming emotionally attached to them. The series, which co-starred a young Salma Hayek, received praise from critics for its unique and realistic portrayal of African American life.
