Early life and education
Tobolowsky was born in Dallas, Texas, to a Jewish family from Russia and Poland.
He grew up creating amusing games with his brother, and his book The Dangerous Animals Club portrays a snapshot of how unsupervised children in the twentieth century could amuse themselves. He had a natural talent at baseball, but his career as an athlete was shattered long before it began. He graduated from Justin F. Kimball High School and Southern Methodist University. In 1975, he obtained a master's degree from the University of Illinois.
He is the cousin of former Dallas attorney Ira Tobolowsky, who was assassinated in his home in 2016, a felony that is still unsolved. George Tobolowsky, another cousin (and Ira's brother) is a sculptor.
Stephen Tobolowsky appeared in A Cast of Thousands, which had two songs, "Red, White and Blue" and "I Heard a Voice Last Night," on a compilation of local Dallas bands called A New Hike. Both of these songs featured Steve Vaughan, who would later be known as Stevie Ray Vaughan.
Career
Tobolowsky has appeared in over 200 films, plus many television projects. He has also worked in the theater, directing and acting in plays in New York City, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. He directed one movie, Two Idiots in Hollywood, based on his play of the same name. He also co-wrote the film True Stories with David Byrne and Beth Henley. He was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play for the 2002 revival of Morning’s at Seven.
