Tony Roberts, a talented theater performer who earned a Tony Award nomination, died at 85. His daughter, Nicole Burley, informed The New York Times. Known for his charming stage presence, he starred in diverse Broadway musicals like 'How Now, Dow Jones' and 'Sugar.' Roberts also appeared in various Woody Allen films, often playing the best friend. His unique talent and confident demeanor made him a favorite in comedies. In his memoir, he expressed gratitude for his successful career in acting, reflecting on his early aspirations to perform.
"Roberts' confident onscreen presence - not to mention his tall frame, broad shoulders and brown curly mane - was the perfect foil for Allen's various neurotic characters, making them more funny and enjoyable to watch."
"Unlike many of my pals, who didn't know what they wanted to become when they grew up, I knew I wanted to be an actor before I got to high school."
