Bill Corbett

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bill Corbett is a writer and performer for television, film and theatre.

Corbett was a writer and performer on the cult television show Mystery Science Theater 3000 (MST3K), for which he voiced the robot Crow T. Robot during the show's later seasons on the Sci Fi Channel and played the character Observer and other minor roles. In 2001, Corbett co-wrote the Sci Fi Channel miniseries The Adventures of Edward the Less with several other former MST3K writers.

Since 2002, Corbett has been a member of The Film Crew, a movie-riffing comedic team comprising former MST3K co-stars Corbett, Michael J. Nelson and Kevin Murphy. The Film Crew occasionally hosts segments between movies on the AMC, Starz/Encore and Sundance Channel cable channels in the United States. The Film Crew also maintains an infrequently-updated website (see External Links). Corbett has also recorded several audio commentary tracks with Nelson and Murphy for Nelson's RiffTrax service and contributes regular humor posts to the RiffTrax Blog.

In March 2006, it was announced that Eddie Murphy will star in the sci-fi comedy Meet Dave (formerly Starship Dave) from a screenplay by Corbett and Rob Greenberg. Brian Robbins will direct the film, which is currently expected to debut in July 2008.
