GQ, as he likes to be called, is a brilliant young actor, writer and MC. A product of Chi-tilly, he went to NYU's Tisch School of the Arts and worked in the Experimental Theatre Wing. It was there that he, along with some classmates, conceived the idea for "The Bombitty of Errors," an "ad-raptation" of Shakespeare's "The Comedy of Errors". GQ wrote, produced and starred in the show, which was a huge success off-Broadway for months. The overwhelming response to The Bombitty led to GQ's casting in two major features: Martin Lawrence's What's The Worst That Could Happen? and On The Line, starring Lance and Joey of NSYNC.
Brother of J.A.Q. (Jeffrey Qaiyum), they both appear on the television show Scratch and Burn together along with Jordan Allan-Dutton and Eric Weiner. GQ's mother is German and his father is Pakistani
