Enjoy hilarious Hollywood tales from the quintessential character actor, Stephen Tobolowsky and his career of over 300 movies and TV shows!
What to expect
Tobo! You know him as Ned Ryerson in GROUNDHOG DAY — Bing!
But also as Mr. Bates in FREAKY FRIDAY & FREAKIER FRIDAY, the amnesiac Sammy Jankis in Chris Nolan’s MEMENTO, and "Captain of the Guard" in SPACEBALLS.
He’s worked with legendary film directors like Ridley Scott in THELMA & LOUISE, Michael Mann in THE INSIDER, Jonathan Demme in SWING SHIFT (starring Kurt Russel & Goldie Hawn!), and alongside icons Robert Redford in SNEAKERS, Sharon Stone in BASIC INSTINCT, and Garfield in GARFIELD.
And you’ve definitely seen Tobo on TV, with recurring roles in GLEE, CALIFORNICATION, SILICON VALLEY, THE GOLDBERGS, HEROES, COMMUNITY and DEADWOOD, and memorable appearances on SEINFELD and as “Merle” on THE SIMPSONS.
Tobo also has a podcast, “The Tobolowsky Files”, and has authored 3 books: The Dangerous Animals Club, Cautionary Tales, and My Adventures With God. He's done Voice Acting for video games and animation. And can even tell you how the band RADIOHEAD got their name (hint: Tobo!!)
Come hang out and hear incredible true stories about Mel Brooks, Lindsey Lohan, Steven Seagal, Bill Murray and so many more! Then it’s time for clips & quips in a fun free-ranging Q&A hosted by, Mr. B! We’ll even be taking questions from the audience, with photos, selfies, autographs right after. There will be a Merch table selling books, 8x10s and DVDs. Come for the party! Stay for the stories! And say hello to Tobo!
