Many people probably know Victor Garber’s face, but for most, his name does not usually ring any bells. He is part of that subset of Hollywood known as character actors, those thespians who are noted for brilliant performances in small roles. This is definitely the case with Victor Garber.
Victor was born in London, Ontario, Canada on the 16th of March in 1949. Like many other character actors, Garber got his start on the stage. In fact, he continues to work in the theater to this day. He began acting as a nine year-old child in children’s theater, then moved on to the University of Toronto’s Hart House acting troupe at only 15 years old.
His career took a different turn when he was 18, and formed a folk band called "The Sugar Shoppe" along with Laurie Hood, Lee Harris and Peter Mann. They would appear on both The Ed Sullivan Show and The Tonight Show before breaking up. He made a return with The Shop but didn’t match his previous success. Soon afterward, he landed the role of Jesus in Godspell and impressed David Greene so much that the director cast him in the film version of the play. The role brought him to New York in 1972 and began his American theater career. He has since earned four Tony Award nominations for roles in Damn Yankees, Lend Me a Tenor, Deathtrap and Little Me. He has also won an Obie Award and a Theater World Award, and has been nominated for a Drama Desk Award.
Meanwhile, Victor Garber has appeared in numerous guest spots on television, and lent his talent to several films, most notably The First Wives Club and Titanic. His role in Titanic has given him much more recognition, and although his role as the ship’s architect Thomas Andrews was small, it was also quite memorable.
