Born and raised in Quincy, Illinois, Roy Brocksmith has been performing for as long as he can remember. “I wouldn’t call my mother a stage mother, but she was extremely supportive. She always encouraged me to get out and perform. Despite the fact that I came from a working class background she always believed I should be a performer. ” On the road touring in the Oberammergau version of the Passion Play before he even went to college, Brocksmith’s original love was the theater. After Graduating from Quincy University in 1970, Brocksmith married his childhood sweetheart Adele, and moved to New York to do experimental theater. For 16 years he worked as an actor and director in numerous stage productions under Joseph Papp, and he considers the high point appearing on Broadway in ,Three Penny Opera. “My biggest thrill of all-time was singing ‘Mack the Knife’ on Broadway. It’s every performer’s dream.” While serving as a visiting director at the Alaska Repertory a friend suggested he try Hollywood. “When the season was over they gave me a one-way ticket to wherever I wanted to go, so I figured I’d take a look.” That look turned into a career turn, and at age 40 Brocksmith moved to L.A. and never looked back. Noted for his appearance in Total Recall Brocksmith’s other films include The Road to Wellvilleand The Hudsucker Proxy.
