Nacimiento : 1957-12-12, Cleveland, Ohio, USA

Historia

Toby is perhaps best known for his appearance in the 2003 film American Splendor about Cleveland comic book writer and R. Crumb collaborator, Harvey Pekar. If you’ve seen the film or read the comic book series, you already know that Toby was a friend of Pekar’s and they met in 1980 while working together as file clerks at Cleveland’s VA Hospital. Radloff became a recurring character in Pekar’s American Splendor comic book series for which the film was named. Radloff was subsequently featured in a handful of vignettes for MTV starting in 1987 and aired, according to Toby, in conjunction with the release of Revenge of the Nerds II. As an actor, the guy’s a true weirdo, and totally hilarious. He’s appeared in several outsider films, including Killer Nerd and Bride of Killer Nerd made in 1991 and 1992 respectively. Both are distributed by Troma Films.

American Splendor

Himself

Harvey trabaja en un hospital de Cleveland. Su única vía de escape frente a la rutina diaria es discutir sobre todo lo divino y lo humano con sus compañeros de trabajo. Casualmente conoce a Robert Crumb, un diseñador de postales amante de la música que, años después se hace famoso gracias a sus cómics underground. La idea de que el cómic es una forma de arte para adultos lleva a Harvey a hacer una tira cómica, "American Splendor", que es un retrato irónico del estilo de vida de la clase obrera americana. Publicado por primera vez en 1976, el cómic "American Splendor" convirtió a Harvey en un autor de culto durante los años 80.
