Biography
With his gravelly voice and in-your-face style, it's no wonder that stand-up comedian cum actor Bobby Slayton quickly earned the nickname "The Pitbull of Comedy."After working tirelessly on the stand-up circuit for a number of years and frequently appearing on numerous popular stand-up comedy shows, Slayton made his feature debut in the Randy Quaid comedy Martians Go Home -- as the stand-up Martian of course. Soon appearing frequently on television and in film, Slayton would turn up in Ed Wood (1994), Get Shorty (1995), and take on the role of Joey Bishop in the made-for-television The Rat Pack (1998). A few years later Slayton would find himself cast in the HBO original series The Mind of a Married Man. ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide
