On television, Crews guest-starred in “Platinum,” as well as “CSI: Miami” and “The District.”

On an art scholarship, Crews attended the Interlochen Art Academy and Western Michigan University, with plans to become a special effects artist in Hollywood. However, during his freshman year, he walked on to the football team. He went on to play All Mid-American Conference defensive end, highlighted by winning the Mid-American Conference championship in 1988.

Born and raised in Flint, Michigan, Crews lives in Los Angeles with his wife of 17 years and their five children.
