Robert Anthony Rist (born April 4, 1964) is an American actor, voice actor, and musician who portrayed Doctor Zee in the three-part pilot episode of Galactica 1980, "Galactica Discovers Earth," before the role was recast to actor James Patrick Stuart beginning with "The Super Scouts, Part I." The change in actors was never explained by on-screen dialogue.

Early Life and Career

Rist was born on April 4, 1964, in La Mirada, California,[external 1] to German immigrant parents.[external 2] He began studying music at age three.[external 3] He began his acting career at a young age, making his first television appearance in 1972 on Love, American Style.[external 4] In 1973, he appeared in an after-school special with Jodie Foster.[external 5] Rist has cited Lon Chaney Jr. in The Wolf Man as his first major acting influence, stating that the character's melancholy deeply resonated with him from an early age.[external 6] He has also expressed admiration for character actors including Roddy McDowall, John Saxon, and Kenneth Mars.[external 7]

The Brady Bunch and Cousin Oliver Syndrome

In 1974, Rist joined the cast of The Brady Bunch as Cousin Oliver for the final six episodes of the series.[external 8] With the regular children all growing older, his inclusion was intended to reintroduce a cute, younger child to the series.[external 9] However, the idea backfired as most viewers disliked the Oliver character, and the plan became moot when ABC opted not to renew the series even before his debut.[external 10] This gave rise to the television term "Cousin Oliver Syndrome," referring to the addition of a new young character in an attempt to revitalize a declining series.[external 11]

The Cousin Oliver character has become a pop culture reference point, with satirical publication The Onion using the character on its cover twice for political satire—once in 1998 with the headline "Cousin Oliver To Join Last Year Of Clinton White House," and again in 2006 with "Cousin Oliver to Join Bush White House to Help Sagging Ratings."[external 12]

Rist has reflected on his time on The Brady Bunch positively, crediting his parents' work ethic for helping him avoid becoming jaded despite the negative reception of the character. In a later interview, he stated that he always viewed acting jobs as "just another gig" in a positive sense, maintaining appreciation for every opportunity to work.[external 13] During the production, Rist was influenced musically by co-star Susan Olsen, who introduced him to eclectic music including Dr. Demento tapes, which sparked his lifelong fascination with offbeat music.[external 14]

Years later, Rist experienced a period of depression in his late twenties, grappling with the realization that his most recognizable work had occurred when he was nine years old.[external 15] A pivotal moment came when a fan approached him and explained how watching Rist's episodes of The Brady Bunch had helped him through a difficult childhood, which helped Rist come to terms with his role in the show's legacy.[external 16]

Other Childhood Roles

Following The Brady Bunch, Rist appeared in numerous television series throughout the 1970s. He played Glendon Farrell in Lucas Tanner starring David Hartman,[external 17] "Little John" in the Saturday morning series Big John, Little John,[external 18] and Martin in the short-lived Sanford and Son spin-off Grady.[external 19]

During 1975-1977, Rist played David Baxter, the adopted son of Ted Baxter (played by Ted Knight) on The Mary Tyler Moore Show.[external 20] He also appeared in three episodes of The Bionic Woman.[external 21]

Rist appeared in a Glen A. Larson production when he guest-starred in an episode of Knight Rider.[external 22]

Voice Acting Career

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Rist transitioned into voice acting as an adult, achieving significant recognition as the voice of Michelangelo in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film series.[external 23] He voiced the character in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (1990), Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze (1991), and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III (1993).[external 23] He later reprised the role of Michelangelo in a fan-made movie about Casey Jones in 2011,[external 24] and voiced the reincarnation of Mondo Gecko in the 2012 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated series.[external 25]

Kidd Video

From 1984 to 1986, Rist starred in the Saturday morning cartoon Kidd Video, playing the character Whiz in both live-action music videos and animated sequences.[external 26] Rist later described the experience as incorporating everything he had worked on up to that point, including acting, singing, and pretending to be a rock star.[external 27]

Other Voice Work

Rist's extensive voice acting career includes numerous notable roles. He voiced Star, a Siberian Husky, in the 1995 Universal Studios animated film Balto,[external 28] which to date is his first and only role in a full-length animated theatrical film.[external 29]

He voiced Stuffy, Doc's overly proud stuffed dragon, in Disney Junior's animated series Doc McStuffins.[external 30] Other voice roles include Choji Akimichi in Naruto,[external 31] Maroda in Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2,[external 32] and characters in Batman: The Animated Series.[external 33] An episode of Batman: The Animated Series titled "Baby Doll" contained a character called Cousin Spunky that was intended to boost sagging ratings of the fictional Baby Doll sitcom, a clear reference to Cousin Oliver, though Rist lent his voice to the episode but did not play Cousin Spunky.[external 34]

In 2009, he voiced Griffin in Terminator Salvation,[external 35] and in 2014, he appeared as the voice of an alien in the James Rolfe film Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie.[external 36]

Music Career

Rist is also a musician and producer who sings and plays guitar, bass guitar, and drums.[external 37] He also plays piano and mandolin.[external 38] He has worked with many Los Angeles rock bands, including Wonderboy, The Andersons, Cockeyed Ghost, Nice Guy Eddie, Steve Barton and the Oblivion Click, and KingsizeMaybe.[external 39] He began writing his own music around age 13 and started playing in clubs around age 16.[external 40]

Rist's musical style has been described as gravitating toward melodic, hook-driven music influenced by the AM radio of the 1960s and 1970s.[external 41] As a teenager, he attended concerts by The Beach Boys, Barry Manilow, KISS, Cheap Trick, and The Knack, with The Knack's performance at The Troubadour being particularly influential on his desire to pursue music.[external 42]

He has produced albums for numerous bands, including Suzy & Los Quattro, Backline, Ginger Britt and the Mighty, Jeff Caudill, Steve Barton and the Oblivion Click, Nice Guy Eddie, KingsizeMaybe, and The Mockers.[external 43] He produced the album Automatic Toaster for The Rubinoos and played drums on that album.[external 44]

Collaborations

Rist collaborated with singer-songwriter Paul Pope on an album titled Here, which they recorded together after meeting through drummer Jack White.[external 45] Rist and Pope played together for three to four years and operated a recording studio together.[external 46]

Rist also played in the band Your Favorite Trainwreck with Jeff Caudill and Michael "Popeye" Vogelsang. The band released a self-titled album in 2012.[external 47] Rist has also performed with the band The Wrong Dots.[external 48]

Sharknado Franchise

In 2013, Rist portrayed Robbie the Bus Driver in the cult horror film Sharknado.[external 49] When director Anthony C. Ferrante was approached to direct the film after seeing its poster at the American Film Market, Rist insisted that Ferrante take the job and demanded a part in it if he did.[external 50] Sharknado marked his first red carpet premiere.[external 51]

Rist and Ferrante provided music for the Sharknado film, initially writing about six songs for the first film.[external 52] For the sequel Sharknado 2: The Second One, Rist and Ferrante provided music as the band Quint, and performed the franchise's theme song "(The Ballad of) Sharknado", which had originally appeared in the first film.[external 53] Quint was named after the character in Jaws and served as their band's name for future work on the franchise, including the song "Crash" in Sharknado 3.[external 54]

Personal Life

Rist has been married to Ali Riseling since 2019.[external 55] He was ranked number 76 on VH1's 100 Greatest Kid Stars in 2005.[external 56]

Galactica 1980 Interview

In a May 1980 interview with Starlog magazine,[external 8] Rist discussed his role as Doctor Zee in the pilot episode of Galactica 1980. At the time of the interview, the series had not yet returned as a regular weekly series, and the subsequent recasting of the role had not yet occurred.
