Drew Carey is a comedian, actor and is now regarded as American soccer’s most recognizable supporter. Carey is an owner of Seattle Sounders FC and serves as chairman of Sounders FC Alliance presented by FSN, the club’s member association.
The host of The Price is Right on CBS, Carey first gained popularity while starring in his own sitcom, The Drew Carey Show, and serving as host and producer of the U.S. version of Whose Line Is It Anyway? He has also hosted The Power of 10 game show on CBS.
While in the Marine Reserves, his military buzz cut and black wide-rim glasses became part of his trademark look. He began his successful career as a comedian in April of 1986 at the Cleveland Comedy Club. One of his first big breaks was competing on Star Search '88. In 1991, Carey landed a spot on HBO’s 14th Annual Young Comedians Special and appeared on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Carey openly credits Carson with launching his career. He received a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2003.
Carey’s interest in soccer began while attending an L.A. Galaxy game in 2003. He learned more about the game and, during a later visit to Spain, saw the Barcelona FC team in action. He also worked as a press photographer during the 2006 World Cup in Germany, his efforts chronicled on a Travel Channel show entitled Drew Carey’s Sporting Adventures. He has regularly attended U.S. National Team qualifying games, both at home and on the road, and his photos have appeared in numerous publications.
During his travels Carey became fascinated with the empowerment of supporters at such clubs as Barcelona and Real Madrid, where leadership positions are voted upon by the members. He brought that idea to Sounders FC, where members will vote on various matters, most notably the fate of the general manager every four years. Carey is also the driving force for Seattle’s 53-piece marching band, Sound Wave.
Carey, 50 (5/23/1958), is a native of Cleveland, Ohio.
