Other works include "Virginia" costarring with Parker McKenna Posey of the Damon Wayons ABC series "My Wife & Kids" and "Short Fuse.
Godrey is best known as the National spokesman for the 7UP campaign bringing his comedic portrayal as the 7UP Guy in the national 7 UP commercials . He’s had several appearances on BET's "Comicview,” Carson Daily, and landed his own half-hour comedy special for Comedy Central.
It was in Bravo's reality show called "The It Factor" that the start of Godfrey's career was documented. The story of nine people, who have what "it" takes to make it big in the entertainment industry, Godfrey was the only standup comic in the documentary.

Godfrey:
Yeah, I'm the guy from the 7 Up commercials, but I'm a comedian/actor. You've seen me in "Soul Plane," "Johnson Family Vacation," and when Ben Stiller turns into the Black Zoolander...that's me. I have a movie coming out with Monique called "Phat Girlz!" You can catch me on VH1's "I Love the 80's and 90's," "The 100 Hottest Hotties," "The Greatest Toys In History," etc.
I have appeared on Comedy Central's half hour special that is running right now on Comedy Central. I've appeared twice on Carson Daly. Right now I split time between LA and NYC.
