The nephew of producer-turned-Variety editor-in-chief Peter_Bart (Islands in the Stream), actor Roger Bart specialized in evenhanded portrayals of characters with "extreme" personalities that belied and offset the actor's seemingly average, everyman appearance. Among other accomplishments, Bart received critical laurels for his evocation of an outré homosexual in Frank_Oz and Scott_Rudin's uneven comedic update of The_Stepford_Wives in 2004. Bart followed that up by deftly playing the flamboyant Carmen Ghia, personal assistant to transvestite director Roger de Bries, in the 2005 Susan_Stroman-directed musical comedy remake of Mel_Brooks' The_Producers, and then played one of two seriously disturbed American businessmen who buy into a thrill-kill franchise in Eli_Roth's splatter-fest Hostel Part II (2007). Bart is perhaps best known, however, for his portrayal of George Williams on the prime-time black comedy hit Desperate_Housewives (2004-2005). Nathan Southern, Rovi
