Victor Garber has done it all - comedy, drama, musicals, series TV and guest appearances, all kinds of film, decades on Broadway. Garner’s intelligence and skill combined with an elegant persona just work for this singing, dancing actor who cut his teeth on the Toronto stage and whose first major film role was the charismatic Jesus in Godspell.
More recently, Garber provided the voice of Master Rhino in King Fu Panda 2, something else he does well – narration and voiceovers – now on DVD and Blu Ray. On December 5th, Garber will star in a one-night only benefit performance of the 1998 Broadway hit She Loves Me, for Broadway’s Roundabout Theatre, with Gavin Creel, Jane Krakowski and a cast of fifteen.
Monsters and Critics caught up with Garber during rehearsals for the show at New York’s Stephen Sondheim Theatre.
