Bernard Grant was born in 1920 in New York City. He first came in contact with acting through church groups and continued to act in neighbourhood theatres, while attending the City College of New York. Grant then studied acting at the American Theater Wing, worked as a radio announcer for WPAT-AM in New York City and performed with a comedy troupe in night clubs.

With the advent of television, Grant started appearing in such shows, as The Goldbergs and Ponds Theater. He remained a fixture on TV for the rest of his career, regularly appearing on daytime dramas, like The Guiding Light and One Life to Live.
