As a stand up comic, Bobcat Goldthwait has been compared to everyone from Lenny Bruce to a Warner Brothers cartoon on the verge of a nervous breakdown. Whether audiences consider him on the edge or over it, after a dozen films, his own HBO specials, a myriad of guest spots, and even a few talk show appearances that didn’t result in legal action, love or hate him, Bobcat is still an original and never boring. Goldthwait started his comedy career right after high school when he moved to Boston to develop his act. After auditioning numerous times for The Late Show with David Letterman, he made his television debut on March 20,1982. From New York, Goldthwait took his stand-up to San Francisco and Los Angeles, eventually becoming a pop phenomenon. He soon appeared in a showcase with Whoopi Goldberg and landed his first film role, the gang leader “Zed” in Police Academy 2. Goldthwait logged two Police Academy sequels, while building his filmography through roles in such features as Scrooged with Bill Murray, Burgler with Whoopi Goldberg and as the voice of “Pain” in the animated Disney film Hercules. His trademark, multi-octave voice currently gave life to “Mr. Floppy,” the puppet on the WB’s Unhappily Ever After. He has also hosted three of his own HBO specials, as well as an episode of FOX’s Mad TV. Goldthwait has also guest starred on such shows as The Larry Sanders Show, The John Larroqutte Show, ER, Sabrina: The Teenage Witch and Living Single. Bobcat – who is also an acclaimed director and screenwriter – is simply one of the most original and funniest performers out there.
