Bobcat Goldthwait
Biography Filmography Links Contact Galleries
Birthplace: Syracuse, New York, USA
During a 1994 interview with comedian
"Bobcat" Goldthwait, The Today Show's Katie Couric became so
rattled at Goldthwait's paranoic, high-decibel responses to her questions
that she repeatedly entreated him to calm down and relax. After the commercial
break, a frowning Couric looked directly at the guys in the NBC control
room and asked "Why didn't you tell me he always talks like that?"
Indeed, Goldthwait has never spoken when shouting will do--at least not
professionally. A popular attraction on the comedy-cabaret circuit in
the early 1980s, Goldthwait made his film bow as gonzo gang leader Zed
in Police Academy 2: The First Assignment (1985); he revived the character--this
time as a good-guy police cadet--in two Police Academy sequels. Though
we've been treated to generous helpings of Goldthwait's marine-raiders
comic style in such TV series as Capitol Critters (1992) and Unhappily
Ever After (1995), his funniest appearance thus far has been his briefest:
in the satirical MTV special Medusa: Dare to Be Truthful (1992), he offers
a 30-second parody of Kevin Costner's aw-shucks cameo in Madonna: Truth
or Dare (1991). Having previously directed his own concert video Is He
Like That All the Time? (1988), Goldthwait extended his directorial activities
to the 1994 theatrical feature Shakes the Clown (1994), a grimly amusing
look at the underbelly of show business. While promoting Shakes on May
9, 1994, Bobcat Goldthwait made his bid for media immortality by impulsively
setting fire to Jay Leno's guest couch on The Tonight Show--an act which
resulted in shocked outrage from both Leno and NBC, but did not prevent
them from using this inflammatory vignette in their advertising. ~ Hal
