While Roger has done countless interviews, perhaps the most famous is Ilana Levine’s Little Known Facts interview, which she turned into an audiobook. There’s nothing quite as charming as learning even more about an actor when it brings new light and enjoyment to his (or her) body of work. If these facts aren’t enough, then never fear because there...
Bibliophiles know that The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is one of those, sometimes controversial, too often banned and burnt books. However, it’s also been more than one movie and a Broadway musical. Roger Bart debuted on Broadway in 1987 when he played the Tom Sawyer in Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. The award-winning show was in...
In addition to his many Broadway roles, and voicing the singing parts of Scamp in Lady and the Tramp II: Scamp’s Adventure, Roger sang for Disney in another, even more, beloved classic. Every time you hear Hercules sing that is Roger Bart’s voice doing the work. He didn’t play the speaking parts, but never the less, adding ‘strongest man on earth’ ...
Among the more amusing roles Bart has taken, and there have been so many, he was cast in the upcoming musical adaptation of Back to the Future. It’s no small task to step into the shoes of Doctor Emmett Lathrop Brown, but if anyone could do it, certainly the ridiculously talented and brilliant Roger Bart can do the role justice. Christopher Lloyd, ...
Roger Bart has never been cats in Cats, but he has played the role of a singing dog at least twice. Another of his incredible cartoon performanceswas playing the part of Snoopy in You’re a good man Charlie Brown, but there’s a twist to that tale since the show wasn’t a cartoon at all. Instead, it was the Broadway musical in 1999. That time he did w...
With so much talent packed into one man, you might expect that Roger was like Kiefer Sutherland, a son from a famous theatrical family, but that’s not the case at all. No doubt, brains, and talent come from the Bart family. His uncle is Peter Benton Bart, the producer, and writer who was the Editor in Chief for Variety from 1989 to 2009 and a colum...
Okay, that title is a little misleading, but Bart did introduce a friend, who later became a famous TV gangster, to the art of acting. James Gandolfini first became interested in acting when Roger brought him to an acting class. Though the credit for his skill goes entirely to James himself, it’s still noteworthy that James became a part of the act...
” I do have a knack for making the absurd seem real,” Roger said to the Chicago Tribunein November of 2009. Though he hasn’t always played an oddball or a psychotic, Bart had undoubtedly done more than his share of outlandish roles over the years. He said it best himself. Roger has a talent for taking an almost unbelievable and improbable character...
You won’t find much in the way of personal details about Roger’s life. He keeps his personal life and his work separate. You don’t see his name in tabloids or mug shots, and he’s not involved in anything trendy or fleeting most of the time. He’s an icon in his own right. We’re not sure whether he’s just a man who likes his privacy, or if he’s a per...
While some people speculate about Roger’s Sexuality and whether he’s secretly married, we’re content to simply say that he’s dated women, and never been married. Anything beyond that is his own business, and he’ll share it, or not, as he sees fit. Bart has two daughters. Ali Kendall, daughter of Jennifer Kendall, is 32 or 33 now. In 2001 he became ...
Aug 10, 2024 · There is a precedent for Disney bringing back an actor from an animated film and allowing them to play the same character in the live-action adaption.
