Andrew "Dice" Clay (born Andrew Clay Silverstein on September 29, 1957, in Brooklyn, New York) is an American comedian and actor. Dice performed his first HBO Special in Philadelphia called The Diceman Cometh in 1989, and had his first starring role in a feature film (as Ford Fairlane) entitled: The Adventures of Ford Fairlane in 1990.

His popularity waned after this period, and in 2007 he attempted a comeback with the reality TV series Dice: Undisputed. He was controversial for his profanity and for the sexism in his routines, for which he was banned from MTV and boycotted by celebrities Sinéad O'Connor and Nora Dunn, the former a guest and the latter a cast member on a 1990 episode of Saturday Night Live that Clay hosted.

According to his official website, "His rise to fame was meteoric - with sold-out arenas, platinum albums, and starring roles in films and TV specials. His fall was just as epic- blackballed by the industry and becoming the man to hate by every PC group in the country.
