Robert Francis "Bobcat" Goldthwait is an American screen and voice actor, comedian, screenwriter, and film and television director. He became recognized as a solo stand-up comedian and had a record "Meat Bob" and two televised concert specials in the 1980s. During the fall of 1993, he performed stand-up material as an opening act for Nirvana on what would be their final North American tour. Goldthwait is commonly known for his energetic, ravenous stage personality, his dark, acerbic black comedy, and his gruff but high-pitched voice.
