"Don't call him 'Little Chris'," - New York Observer

BY ED CONDRAN, Correspondent

Bed Stuy's own Tony Rock, brother of Chris Rock is paving his own laugh track. Although the comedic actor followed in his older brother's foot step, Tony shares with the New & Observer his own special blend of comedy.

'Little Chris" was how New York comics referred to Tony Rock when he watched his older, famous brother Chris Rock kill at Manhattan comedy clubs more than 15 years ago.

Yet that didn't bother him. Tony Rock says it was much harder living in Bedford-Stuyvesant, one of the toughest neighborhoods in Brooklyn. "I was a world away when I watched my brother and the other comics," he says. "I learned the art of comedy."
