WHO IS STEPHEN TOBOLOSKY? I KNOW HIM

How many times does one watch a movie or TV show and say" I know him . "BUT WHAT IS THEIR NAME?" As movies and even TV shows become so expensive many of the big stars are pricing themselves out due to budget of movies but many Character actors keep flourishing in so many roles. Many of these "character actors" steal many scenes and are remembered for their supporting roles with some only a few minutes long. One of my all time favorites is an actor STEPHEN TOBOLOSKY who has left his mark in so many films but is not a household name but is a very familiar face to many if not all of us. Many have seen him in ROBERT REDFORDs SNEAKERS, in SPACEBALLS, and probably his most famous as Ned Meyerson from BILL MURRAYs GROUNDHOG DAY. He played the insurance agent that is repeatingly met by Murray in the déjà Vu moments and stole the scene as the movie went on. He played in DEADWOOD a TV show that was eventually canceled due not for lack of fan base but the high costs of producing and the length of filming a show that lasted 30 days at the least for each one hour episode. When the opportunity arose to catch him after a radio interview which a friend let me know , it was another I could not resist. As he came off the elevator 3 of us approached him and much to our great moment he was terrific. Friendly, smiling ,sharing stories with us in a way that all actors should react to fans who just wanted to say Thank You and hope they too appreciate them. He is a class act on and of the screen and forever will be a great meet and someone I will say Hello to either on the screen or hopefully in person one day again. STEPHEN TOBOLOSKY will never be a stranger in name or person to me ever again.
