As a film maker, Goldthwait has come a long way since the 1991 debut of his first movie Shakes the Clown.   Since then, he has continued to pursue his passion for writing and directing movies.

The critically acclaimed film bravely tells Barry Crimmins’ incredible story. Bobcat’s movie accomplishments also include; Willow Creek, a found footage horror film about Big Foot, the dark comedy God Bless America, a modern-day Bonnie & Clyde displays his inimitable talent for writing, Windy City Heat, Sleeping Dogs Lie and World’s Greatest Dad that starred Robin Williams.  There’s no doubt, there will be many more movies.
                        
Goldthwait unleashed his one of a kind brand of comedy in his Showtime one hour special and DVD entitled You Don’t Look the Same Either. The genre-defying Police Academy alum returned with a self-deprecating and topical instant comedy classic, taking the audience on a hilarious journey through his over 30-year career as an 80’s icon, to the guy who lit The Tonight Show set on fire…literally! 

Best known for his unforgettable movies that were huge in the 80's, Bobcat has also starred in several HBO specials and a slew of television appearances too numerous to mention.  Bob continues to push the envelope with his unique brand of humor headlining major comedy clubs across the country.
