Full Tony Hale Biography
Tony Hale (born September 30, 1970) is an American actor, best known for starring in the FOX comedy series Arrested Development, in which he played the neurotic Byron "Buster" Bluth. He also recently appeared in Stranger Than Fiction alongside Will Ferrell.
Born in West Point, New York, Hale grew up in Tallahassee, Florida, where he attended the Young Actors Theatre and participated in numerous theatrical and musical productions.
Hale graduated from Samford University in Alabama in 1992 with a journalism degree, where he became a member of Sigma Chi Fraternity. He is a 1994 graduate of the School of Communication & the Arts of Regent University in Virginia. After graduating, he set up residence in New York City and lived there for nearly ten years. While in New York, Hale helped found a Christian ministry called The Haven, an artistically-minded community of Christians that meets weekly.
Hale made minor guest appearances in TV shows such as Dawson's Creek, The Sopranos, and Sex and the City. He is often recognized for his role in the famous VW television commercial aired in 1999, in which he danced to the song, "Mr. Roboto" (which was spoofed in "The Ocean Walker" episode of Arrested Development).
From 2003 to 2006, Hale found success in television when he was cast as the hapless, deadpan Byron "Buster" Bluth with "mother issues" in the Fox sitcom Arrested Development. The show was canceled due to low ratings, despite its critical acclaim and cult following.
In March 2006, Hale was cast in a co-starring role of the video store owner, Simon, in the NBC sitcom Andy Barker P.I., starring Andy Richter and co-created by Conan O'Brien. He also appeared in minor roles in Stranger Than Fiction and Because I Said So. He will be the voice of Furlough in The Tale of Despereaux, an animated children’s tale scheduled for release in 2008.
He married Emmy Award-winning make-up artist Martel Thompson on May 24, 2003. They had their first child, Loy Ann Hale, weighing 6 pounds, 4 ounces, on February 24, 2006.
