The Biggest Red Carpets of the Week

Bob Bancroft grew up off the grid in the backwoods of Vermont. Sometime in the 70's, he moved from a tent in the Green Mountains to a tiny apartment next to a Jello factory in Hollywood.

He's been a waiter at an all-night deli, a newspaper writer, a magazine and book editor, a ghostwriter for a celebrity gossip column, and a breakfast chef at a restaurant famous as "the home of 47 waffle varieties".

Audiences now know him from a string of film and television performances dating from the mid 80's - scientists and doctors, priests and killers, regular guys and nut jobs. TV highlights include appearances on Shondaland's Station 19 (2018), Hulu's Into the Dark (2018), American Horror Story (2011), Parks and Recreation (2009), and many others. Additionally, he spent 3 years on CBS's Chicago Hope (1994), and was the nefarious Mr. Lutz on Disney's Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century (1999).

Yes, he's been featured on several Buzzfeed lists, but no, he's not the dad from ALF.

He was an acting instructor for Kevin E. Elliot who appeared in VH1&#39;s Random Play, and ABC Family Channel&#39;s S Club7.
