American performer, producer and writer Tyler "The Beard" Toney, better known for his work with the group Dude Perfect, was born in Prosper, Texas. Toney first went viral in 2009, when a video of himself and a group of friends doing trick shots was released on YouTube. From then on, their antics became a career with the creation of the comedy sports group Dude Perfect, of which Toney is considered to be the leader. The channel has eventually transitioned to a full TV series, "Dude Perfect Show" (CMT, 2016-19), for which Toney is the Executive Producer, in addition to playing himself.
