Roy Brocksmith (September 15, 1945 – December 16, 2001) was an American actor.

He then moved to New York City where he began a career on Broadway.

His roles included Louis XIII in The Three Musketeers and the balladeer in a revival of The Threepenny Opera with Raul Julia.

Brocksmith's nerdy, pudgy appearance, and effete mannerisms made him perfect for comic roles, particularly in the late '80s and 1990s.

Among his more prominent roles are Dr. Edgemar in Total Recall, a police sergeant possessed by Bill in Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, principal Michael Oslo in Picket Fences and jovial mortician Irv Kendall in Arachnophobia.
