Attack of the Big Black!

Chris "Big Black" Boykin stars as him self on MTV's funny comedy reality series, "Rob & Big."

His birth certificate may say Christopher Boykin, but he's known around the world as "Big Black". One look at the 375-pound, 6-foot-6-inch African American executive skateboarder protection specialist is all that is needed to explain his obvious nickname.

Chris "Big Black" Boykin first linked up with skateboard pro Rob Dyrdek and DC Shoes for a supporting role in a segment in the 2003 skateboarding video, "The DC Video." The two were featured together in a skit where Rob hires a security guard -- Big Black -- to protect him from other security guards during Robs skateboard adventures.. Rob and Big reconnected in their roles a year later in "The DC Video: Deluxe Edition" DVD, then powered through a world-wide tour. Needless to say, the two hit it off and the rest is history.

In addition to pumping iron and protecting skaters, Chris "Big Black" Boykin has his own signature hat collection with New Era, sporting the slogan, "Got Big Black?" and his face can also be seen plastered on DC shirts. Chris "Big Black" Boykin is also working on his first rap album, which will include the early favorite "Stick Wit It." The song spits rhymes like, "I only rap about burgers and fries, chicken and thighs!"

Considering the time Chris "Big Black" Boykin spends with his client, living with Rob was a natural move for Big. Just as natural are the laughs. "Life with him is all-day comedy," Rob says."The world doesn't know what it's in for."
