Career Following graduation from Wright State University, his first acting job was a recurring role on L.A. Law as Ned Barron, which lasted for six episodes from 1991 to 1992.
Sherwood was introduced to improv after being encouraged to attend a comedy class in Los Angeles, and he joined the cast of the syndicated sketch-comedy series The Newz in 1994.
In 1992, Sherwood appeared in two episodes of the fourth season of the British improvisational comedy television show Whose Line Is It Anyway?. He was the only actor from that year's Los Angeles auditions to make it to the cast."Conversations with Ross: Featuring Brad Sherwood", rosscarey.com, August 17, 2011. In 1997 he returned to the show, becoming a regular performer during the last two seasons. He then joined the American version of Whose Line Is It Anyway? which began after the British version ended and originally aired on the American broadcaster ABC. The American version was hosted by comedian Drew Carey. Sherwood later made a guest appearance in three episodes of Carey's sitcom The Drew Carey Show. He was also a producer and performer on Drew Carey's Green Screen Show (2005) and a performer on Drew Carey's Improv-A-Ganza (2011).
In 2013, the American broadcast network The CW revived Whose Line?, on which Sherwood has made occasional appearances.
