Best known for his work as Charlie Young on The West Wing, Dulé Hill stars in Psych, the hit one-hour crime/comedy series in which an amateur sleuth (James Roday) cons the police into believing he has psychic powers that help solve crimes.

Wolfe. The history of the African American told through tap dance and music, Bring in 'Da Noise, Bring in 'Da Funk, proved one of the most exciting events of the 1996 season. His stage credits also include Black and Blue (Broadway's Minskoff Theatre), Shenandoah (Paper Mill Playhouse) and The Little Rascals (Goodspeed Opera House). Hill began attending dance school when he was three and received his first break years later as the understudy to Savion Glover in The Tap Dance Kid on Broadway.
