Victor Garber An often underrated but much talented actor, Garber is perhaps best remembered for his role as Jack Bristow in the hit TV series "Alias".In addition to that however, he has also starred in such films as "Godspell", "Titanic", "Sleepless in Seattle", "Tuck Everlasting", "Annie" and "Legally Blonde", and had a recurring role in the Canadian television drama "E.N.G.". He is a six-time Emmy Award nominee, for his performances in "Alias" and also for his portrayal of Liberace in the made-for-TV movie, "Liberace: Behind the Music". His stage work includes performances in the original productions of "Deathtrap", "Sweeney Todd", and "Noises Off". He was also in the original off-Broadway cast of "Assassins", as well as the 1990s revival of "Damn Yankees". To this extent, he continues to be a much sought-after theatrical performer in musicals, comedies and dramatic productions and is a four-time Tony Award nominee. His most recent performances include that of the male lead in the critically hailed Encores presentation of "Follies" in 2005, with Donna Murphy, and that of Garry Essendine in a production of Noel Coward's "Present Laughter" at Boston's Huntington Theatre in 2007. Interestingly enough, Garber started out not as an actor, but a musician forming the folk band, 'The Sugar Shoppe' with Peter Mann, Laurie Hood and Lee Harris. The group enjoyed moderate success, even performing on 'The Ed Sullivan Show' and 'The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson' before breaking up. Back to Victor Garbers Index |
