Our own Danny Roebuck

[toysoldierman2001]

Just got done watching an episode of Malcolm in the Middle and saw our own Danny Roebuck playing the part of a Zoo Keeper! It was a real treat seeing someone you know on TV!

To me, Dan will always be John/Samson from River's Edge. An absolutely brilliant performance. I especially love the scenes Dan had with Dennis Hopper. Easily one of the best films of the 80s.

How cool Danny!  I want your autograph!  I just love Malcolm in the Middle.  Which episode was it?  That is, what happened on the episode?

Not to forget his stints on Matlock and Nash Bridges.

I loved his meltdown/breakdown while being grilled by Dennis Franz on NYPD BLUE!

To me, he stood out playing Jay Leno in The Late Shift (a movie about the late night wars between NBC and CBS).

OK you guys, just teasing me when it's killing me to know which Malcolm he was on.  Somebody tell the truth.

I agree, it was one of my favorite movies. Great performances all around, jamming soundtrack, overall a great movie. 

Its very cool to have watched someone in a favorite movie and then be a part of the best site on the web with the same person. Only in the UMA!

Let's not forget that our "dynamite" Dan was on LOST. His performance... explosive as always.

OK you guys, just teasing me when it's killing me to know which Malcolm he was on.  Somebody tell the truth.

Out of concern for your health, and a general affection for you, I offer the following........

Season 4, Episode 1
 "Zoo" (Danny plays a zoo worker named "Randy")

In this episode, Malcolm faces what almost all teens face: depression.

Lois tells him that it's a phase that is normal for kids. She tries to cheer him up for a family trip to the zoo. At the zoo, Malcolm, still depressed, was told to take Dewey with him since Lois said so.

Meanwhile, Reese tries to fool with the zoo animals but gets payback by a goat. Lois and Hal meet with a zoo keeper named Matt, who turned out to be someone Lois dated. With Hal filled with jealousy, he volunteers to go in front of the crowd and encounters a tarantula. He gets bitten.

With Francis and Piama on their road trip to get-away, Francis bumps into a German couple who works at a ranch. Francis and Piama both get hired and begins to live there. Back at the zoo, Dewey accidently falls into the tigers pit with Malcolm trying to rescue them but both end out being the prey of the tigers.

Panicking, Malcolm is giving up all of a sudden while Dewey knows that they will be okay. With Matt trying to make Hal feel better with sorrow, he lets out that Lois was dating someone else which makes Hal even more furious. He finds Lois and they both argue about revealing secrets and all was forgiven. Suddenly, they hear about two kids in the tiger's pit. It's Malcolm and Dewey.

Back at the pit, Malcolm is hesitating even more. Dewey gets annoyed by his behavior. Suddenly, Lois and Hal find the two of them and Reese appears with the attacking goat as it flies into the air and becomes the tiger's dinner. The zoo workers save Malcolm and Dewey. The episode ends with Malcolm still depressed, the zoo won't sue the family, and Francis helping a cow giving birth.

Dan's best performance is just being himself...."snicker"  (Always a pleasure, Dan!)

Are you guys sure I didn't die?

If you did, we'd use some sort of Mad Scientist alchemy to bring you back to life  but then, you'd only be good for playing Zombies in movies.
