Peter Scolari (Prologus/Pseudolus) started his career on the New York stage, which led to several television appearances. His work on the World War II-set "Goodtime Girls" (ABC, 1980) alongside Annie Potts helped bring him to the attention of network executives, who subsequently cast him as one of the two stars, the other a young Tom Hanks, in "Bosom Buddies" (ABC, 1980-82), a small screen homage to the classic cross-dressing comedy, "Some Like it Hot" (1959). He quickly moved on to his longest lasting and best-received role when he joined the cast of "Newhart" (CBS, 1982-1990) as the uptight Michael Harris, a local TV producer and the quintessential neurotic yuppie. Scolari won over critics and audiences alike with his hilarious hyperkinetic character, earning a Viewers for Quality Television Award and three Emmy nominations for his role.
Scolari has Broadway credits with roles in shows like "Hairspray" and "Sly Fox". His high-profile spot among Scolari's constant stream of TV guest spots and voiceover work came as a lonely boy riding "The Polar Express" (2004) alongside friend Tom Hanks in the animated holiday movie.
Scolari voiced a game show host version of himself in an episode of "American Dad!" (Fox, 2005-) and Ray Palmer/Atom on "Batman: The Brave and the Bold" (Cartoon Network, 2008-2011). Scolari is now cast on the hit cable sitcom "Girls" (HBO, 2012- ), created by young comic phenom Lena Dunham.
