Character actor Stephen Tobolowsky has nearly 300 credits to his name, including roles in Groundhog Day, Seinfeld, Mad About You, The Practice, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Deadwood, Californication, Glee, Silicon Valley, and The Goldbergs.
Most recently, he stars in Love Virtually as Dr. Divine. The film follows four couples as they attempt to find true love in a virtual world by going to absurd extremes in a world where the meta verse is commonly used. The movie also stars SNL alum Cheri Oteri.
In this interview, we talk about how he met Robert DeNiro his first day in Los Angeles, getting past teachers who try to limit you, how long Bill was actually trapped in Groundhog Day, conversations with Harold Ramis, his audition for Silicon Valley, his character’s desire on The Goldbergs, and much more.
