Bill Corbett
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bill Corbett is a playwright, television writer, screenwriter, and performer.
He was a writer on the cult TV comedy Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K), where he also played the voice of the wisecracking robot Crow T. Robot during the show's run on the Sci Fi Channel, as well as the strange alien Observer (also known as "Brain Guy") as well as a host of other minor parts. He was also writer for the miniseries The Adventures of Edward the Less in 2001, along with several other former MST3K cast members.
Since 2002, Corbett, along with Michael J. Nelson and Kevin Murphy, both of whom he starred with on MST3k, has been a part of The Film Crew, a comedic team similar to MST3K. The Film Crew occasionally hosts segments between movies on the American Movie Classics, Starz/Encore and Sundance Channel cable channels in the USA. The Film Crew also maintains an infrequently-updated website (link below).
It was recently announced that Eddie Murphy will star in and Peter Segal will direct a screenplay written by Corbett entitled Starship Dave.[1] Corbett has also recorded two audio commentary tracks with Mike Nelson mocking the films X-Men and Top Gun. The commentaries are available for download through Nelson's RiffTrax service.[2]
