Due to his father's military career, Underwood spent much of his childhood moving between Army Posts and bases in the United States and Stuttgart, Germany.[1] He graduated from the Carnegie Mellon School of Drama in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Underwood's debut came with the Warner Bros. film, Krush Groove, which was closely followed by roles in films such as Just Cause, Set It Off, and Deep Impact. Though the role was short-lived, Underwood starred as Dr. Ben Turner in the television series City of Angels. He also voices Makuu, a recurring villain, in Disney's The Lion Guard.[2]
