With over 40 years in show business, Buzz Roddy has made his mark as an accomplished actor in the Washington, DC theatre scene since the late 1970s and early 1980s. He was an original member of the Woolly Mammoth Theatre Co. and New Playwrights' Theatre of Washington, along with various other theatres, both extant and departed. Buzz has enjoyed a diverse career as a magician, juggler, mime, and even performance artist (but don’t ask for details!).
Not only is he a familiar face in the New York theatre scene, but Buzz has also performed in theatres across the US and throughout Europe. As a versatile actor, he can portray characters ranging from blue collar workers to aristocrats, excelling in classical theatre, musical theatre, drama, and farce. He has collaborated with artists, both famous and anonymous, and has a wealth of experience in the industry. Buzz is also a classically-trained singer, speaks several languages, and is an expert dialectician.
On TV, Buzz Roddy has appeared in notable shows including Awkwafina, Blue Bloods, 30 Rock, Flight of the Conchords, Gotham, Younger (TV Land), Welcome to Chippendales (Hulu), Red Oaks (Amazon), The Deuce (HBO), Erroneous Convictions, and various Law & Order franchises. In film, he has acted in movies such as Lost Girls, Passing, Windows on the World, The Music Never Stopped, Quick Change, The Cowboy Way, and many others.
While touring Europe in CAT ON A HOT TIN ROOF, Buzz met Laurie Dawn, who was playing the title role. After a number of years of persistence, she agreed to marry him. They now reside in a peaceful village called The Bronx—one of only three cities in the world, including The Hague and The Vatican, that begin with the word 'The'.
Buzz is a proud member of Actors’ Equity and SAG-AFTRA.
