Bobcat Goldthwait is a comedian and director who rose to fame in the TheEighties for two things: his role of Zed in the ''Film/PoliceAcademy'' series and for his stand-up act, most famous for acting ''[[CloudCuckoolander insane]]''.

The first film he directed was ''Film/ShakesTheClown'' in 1992 which was not a box-office success, but developed a cult following. His next notable return to directing was over a decade later when he directed episodes of ''Jimmy Kimmel Live!'' During a break from that show, he directed his next feature film ''Sleeping Dogs Lie'', which was about an . . . [[BestialityIsDepraved interesting]] piece of subject matter to say the least. His next film, arguably his best-received, was ''WorldsGreatestDad'' starring Creator/RobinWilliams. His latest film, ''Film/GodBlessAmerica'', was released in 2012.

He acts much calmer in person now, and still does stand-up occasionally.
