Character Actors: Daniel Roebuck

“It all started in a cardboard television my parents bought me one Christmas,” says Daniel Roebuck, one of the busiest working actors in Hollywood. “I would stand in it and pretend to be on TV.” These days, it’s hard to change the channel on a real TV and not see Roebuck. With guest roles on hit dramas (CSI, Bones, NCIS), kids’ shows (Disney’s Wizards of Waverly Place and Sonny with a Chance), and movies (Final Destination, We Were Soldiers, The Devil’s Rejects), Roebuck is the rare character actor who transcends genres and appeals to fans of all ages.

Shortly after getting his start as an extra on General Hospital, Roebuck garnered attention as the co-star in 1986’s River’s Edge, a dark drama that made most critics’ 10-best lists. “At the time, I had no idea how cool River’s Edge was,” he says. “Had I been more adept at things, I would have taken advantage of being in the movie—to kind of use it as a stepping-stone. I know that doesn’t make me sound like much of an artist, but I’ve recognized since then that it’s also a business, and certainly once you get a family and a mortgage and a lot of responsibility, you think about the business part of it.”
