Charles Kimbrough is an American actor.
Biography[]
Born in St. Paul, Minnesota, Kimbrough began his stage career with the Milwaukee Repertory Theatre before appearing in Company in New York, making him a sought after performer who appeared in a number of straight plays along with his more well-known musical roles, notably Harvey in 2012. He also appeared on television in a number of roles, making several appearances in Kojak and taking an Emmy-nominated lead role as news anchor Jim Diall in Murphy Brown.
Kimbrough played several voice roles in his later career, most notably Victor the gargoyle in The Hunchback of Notre Dame, as well as animated series such as Thomas and Friends and Batman Beyond.
Singing[]
Kimbrough made a large number of appearances on the musical theatre stage, making his first appearance in All in Love before his breakthrough role as Harry in the original cast of Company (for which he received a Tony Award nomination), a part he would reprise for the reunion concert in 1993. He later played the role of Dr. Pangloss and Voltaire in Candide and worked with Stephen Sondheim again in Sunday in the Park With George in the dual role of Jules and Bob Greenberg.
Kimbrough also sang in his voiceover parts, in both The Hunchback of Notre Dame and its sequel and in his role as a "rainbow-face" dinosaur in The Land Before Time VII: The Stone of Cold Fire.
