Geoffrey Holder

  

Geoffrey Holder

Geoffrey Holder (b. Aug 1, 1930), is an American (Trinidad-born) character actor, choreographer, dancer, designer, singer and voice over artist.

Holder is known for his unconventional looks (he is 6'6 and bald with strong African features), his distinctive bass voice with a heavy accent, and his hearty laugh, which have made him the target of good-natured lampooning. He is a prolific and instantly-recognizable performer.

Geoffrey Holder is married to actress Carmen De Lavallade. They have one son.
