Daniel Roebuck was born and raised in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, A fan of movies and television from a very early age he was immediately drawn to the actors and comedians. 

At the age of 10, he started performing in talent shows doing impressions of movie stars he loved. He joined a local circus two years later and made his debut as one of the youngest clowns in the country. It was only a matter of time before Roebuck discovered the theater and from that point he never looked back. 

Now, more than 35 years later, Roebuck has amassed a substantial resume as an actor, writer and director building an impressive resume chuck full of blockbuster films (THE FUGITIVE), kids movies (AGENT CODY BANKS), horror movies (HALLOWEEN 2), faith movies (DEAD MAN RISING), TV movies (NEW YORK PRISON BREAK: THE SEDUCTION OF JOYCE MITCHELL), video games (STAR WARS: JEDI FALLEN ORDER) and television series (MATLOCK, LOST).

​

In fact, Roebuck has been in the business for so long that he stars, currently, on a medium that didn’t even exist when he became an actor, the internet (MAN IN THE HIGH CASTLE)!

Featured in the Broadcast Hall of Fame, QZOO Tube aired from 1987 to 1993 and paved the way for radio shows to appear on television, including Howard Stern and Imus in the Morning.

She also produced Tampa Bay Rowdies soccer games for Sports Channel Florida and a nightly greyhound racing recap show for Derby Lane and Tampa Greyhound Track.Tammy produced a plethora of TV commercials for Tampa Bay area businesses and was the first cable access channel manager in the United States to transform her station into a profit-making venture. Her vision for creating new revenue streams for the cable company and the success of exclusive contracts for televising high school sports led to the creation of Bright House Sports Network.

 

From 2002-2009 Tammy worked at Hillsborough Television (HTV22), the Hillsborough County Government’s 24-hour station, first as a Senior Producer and then ascended to Station Manager. In her first year as station manager, she implemented a new vision - changing the format of government programming and tripling the number of programs on the station.
