Person Biography:
Daniel Roebuck was born and raised in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. He was a fan of movies and television from a very early age and was drawn to actors and comedians. His parents unwittingly fomented his future by gifting him with a cardboard TV on his seventh Christmas.
At the age of 10, he started performing in talent shows, doing impressions of movie stars he loved. He joined a local circus two years later and made his debut as one of the youngest clowns in the country. Roebuck's clown act eventually segued into a magic act and he performed throughout Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York.
It was only a matter of time before Roebuck discovered the theater and from that point, he never looked back. Over the next few years, while still in Pennsylvania, Roebuck continued to hone his craft, acting in, directing, and even writing over 40 plays. He also began performing stand-up comedy.
Now, nearly 30 years later, Roebuck has amassed a substantial resume as an actor, writer, and director. He has moved easily between all mediums, having continued working on television, in movies, and on the stage.
