He voices Patrick Star in the SpongeBob SquarePants franchise, and played Michael "Dauber" Dybinski on the sitcom Coach. He also appeared in 12 episodes of the sitcom How I Met Your Mother as Marshall Eriksen's father Marvin.

Early life and education

Fagerbakke was born on October 4, 1957,[1] in Fontana, California,[2][3][4] and moved to Rupert, Idaho, as a youth. He graduated from Minico High School in Rupert in 1975, where he was a three-sport athlete for the Spartans in football, basketball, and track.[5]

Although he had multiple scholarship offers for college football, including Pac-8 schools, Fagerbakke decided to stay in state and attended the University of Idaho in Moscow.[5] He was a defensive lineman for the Vandals and was ticketed to redshirt in 1976, but was called into action in the fourth game of his sophomore season.[6] The Vandals went 7–4 in 1976, their first winning season in five years, and were 5–2 in the seven games that Fagerbakke started.[7] Head coach Ed Troxel planned on moving him to the offensive line in 1977,[8] but a knee injury in spring drills ended Fagerbakke's athletic career, which turned his focus to theater.[7]

Fagerbakke's first theatrical role was in a campus production of Godspell.[5] He was a member of the Delta Tau Delta fraternity and earned his bachelor's degree in 1981, a result of "two years of football and four years of school."[9][10] He later attended graduate school at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas.[5][11]

Fagerbakke has appeared on television in roles such as assistant coach "Dauber" Dybinski on Coach, and in films, including Funny Farm.[12] He had a role as the mentally disabled Tom Cullen in the 1994 mini-series Stephen King's The Stand. From 1996 to 1999 he played Alan Parish in the Jumanji TV series. In 1999, he had a role in HBO's original series Oz as Officer Karl Metzger.

His character on Coach was based on a former assistant coach at Idaho, a graduate assistant nicknamed "Tuna."[13]

He has appeared in numerous live action and animated films. With his first appearance coming in Perfect Strangers in 1984. He has since appeared in films such as Loose Cannons, Halloween II, Rosewood Lane and Baby Makers.

He has lent his voice to animated shows such as Family Guy, American Dad, The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy, Batman: The Brave and the Bold, Kim Possible, Duck Tales and Young Justice. While having main roles on shows such as Transformers: Animated, Lloyd in Space and Gargoyles.

In 2007, he made a cameo appearance on the show Heroes as Steve Gustavson in the episodes "Run" and "Unexpected." In 2009, he had a role in the film Jennifer's Body. He also played the role of Marvin Eriksen Sr. in the CBS sitcom How I Met Your Mother. In 2012, he made a cameo appearance in the TV show Weeds.

Since 2021, Fagerbakke has been the lead role in the SpongeBob SquarePants spinoff The Patrick Star Show.

In 2022, Fagerbakke guest-starred in the fifth season of Dynasty as Peter de Viblis. His daughter Carson portrays Peter's daughter Patty.

SpongeBob SquarePants

Since 1997, he has provided the voice of Patrick Star for the Nicktoon SpongeBob SquarePants. His role as Patrick has become one of the most iconic in all of animation.[14] He has also been compared to the character's real life counterpart as show write Kent Osborne once said of Fagerbakke, "He is this big guy, and he plays Patrick so well. He's just this big guy, and he lumbers around."[15]

In 2004, Fagerbakke voiced Patrick in The SpongeBob SquarePants Movie, along with subsequent films The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, and The SpongeBob Movie: Sponge on the Run. He also voices the character in video games and spinoffs.

The television show celebrated its 20th anniversary in 2019. In celebration, a television special was aired, titled "SpongeBob's Big Birthday Blowout". One scene includes each of the show's main characters' voice actors portraying live-action versions of their characters.[16] While not the first SpongeBob SquarePants episode that blended animated sequences with live-action characters, this the first time that the characters' voice actors have all played a live-action scene all together.[17]

Super Bowl LVIII, which took place in 2024, was broadcast on CBS; the network's parent company Paramount also owns Nickelodeon, the network that airs SpongeBob SquarePants. As part of a plan to maximize the use of its broadcasting rights partnership with the National Football League (NFL), Paramount decided to air an "alternative" Super Bowl telecast on Nickelodeon that was aimed to be more family-friendly. The channel's website claimed that the broadcast was intended for "kids of all ages, from 2 to 102". The broadcast on Nickelodeon was hosted by Nate Burleson and Noah Eagle in live-action and accompanying them were SpongeBob and Patrick. Bill Fagerbakke and SpongeBobs voice actor Tom Kenny voiced the characters in real-time, improvising their own jokes in-character, and also utilized motion capture.[18]

Personal life

In 1989, Fagerbakke married actress Catherine McClenahan, with whom he had two daughters, one of which is actress Carson Fagerbakke.[19][20][21] In September 2012, he filed for legal separation from McClenahan, citing irreconcilable differences.[22] He has lived in Los Angeles ever since filming the show Coach, however he visits Idaho often. He enjoys spending time with his grandchild.[23]

In 1997, Bill Fagerbakke returned to his alma mater—the University of Idaho to star in benefit performances of the play Love Letters, staged by the Idaho Repertory Theatre to support the university's theater program.[24]

Fagerbakke is good friends with his SpongeBob SquarePants co-star Tom Kenny.[14]
