VICTOR GARBER

'Victor Joseph Garber' (born on March 16, 1949 in London, Ontario, Canada) is a six-time Emmy Award-nominated Canadian film, stage and television actor and singer.
Garber began acting at the age of nine, joining the University of Toronto's Hart House at age 15. In 1967 he formed a folk band called The Sugar Shoppe with Peter Mann, Laurie Hood and Lee Harris. The group enjoyed moderate success, even performing on ''The Ed Sullivan Show'' and ''The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson'' before breaking up. [1]
Garber has worked in various American and Canadian movies and television, such as James Cameron's ''Titanic'' (1997), where he played the RMS ''Titanic'''s shipbuilder Thomas Andrews, and CTV's ''E.N.G.'' (1991–1993), on which he had a recurring guest role. Other well-known appearances include ''Godspell'' (1973) as Jesus, ''Sleepless in Seattle'' (1993), ''Legally Blonde'' (2001), ''Annie'' (1999), and ''Tuck Everlasting'' (2002). In the late 1980s, he played the role of Liberace for a made-for-TV movie.
He appeared on Broadway in the original productions of ''Deathtrap'', ''Sweeney Todd'', and ''Noises Off'' and in the original off-Broadway cast of ''Assassins'', as well as in the 1990s revival of ''Damn Yankees'', and he continues to be a sought-after theatrical performer in musicals, comedies and dramatic productions. Most recently, he played the male lead in a critically hailed Encores presentation of ''Follies'', with Donna Murphy.
His mother, Hope Garber, was an actress and singer. Victor was also her caregiver until her death from Alzheimer's Disease.
From 2001-2006, Garber played the role of Jack Bristow in J.J. Abrams's television series ''Alias'' alongside Ron Rifkin, Jennifer Garner (who played his daughter), and Lena Olin (as his wife).
He very recently appeared on the now-cancelled television series ''Justice'' on Fox. Garber has been cast in a new show for ABC called ''Eli Stone'', which is a midseason replacement for the 2007-2008 season. His most recent TV appearance is as a mysterious character named "Oliver Roth" in the final 3rd season episode of the Canadian science drama ''ReGenesis''.
He is currently playing the role of Garry Essendine in a production of Noel Coward's Present Laughter at Boston's Huntington Theatre.
