Edward Hibbert
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edward Hibbert (born September 9, 1955 on Long Island, New York) is an American actor, voice actor, and literary agent.
He was raised in England, where he attended London's Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. He returned to the U.S. in the mid-1980s. He has one sister.
He is probably best known for his recurring role on Frasier as Gil Chesterton, KACL's pompous, effete, closeted homosexual, yet at times silly, restaurant critic. Hibbert himself is openly gay.[1]
As a voice actor, Hibbert has been the voice of Evil the Cat on the Earthworm Jim TV series, and the voice of Zazu in The Lion King II: Simba's Pride and The Lion King 1 1/2. He appeared in the Broadway musical The Drowsy Chaperone and in the 2006 film The Prestige. In March 2007, he reunited with his "Frasier" co-star David Hyde Pierce in the new Broadway musical Curtains.
He is also a literary agent. His clients include the authors Chuck Palahniuk, Christopher Bram, Steven DeRosa and Ed Sikov.
