William "Bill" Fagerbakke (born October 4, 1957 in Fontana, California) is an American actor. Fagerbakke, who stands at 6'6" (1.98 meters), played football and appeared on television in such roles as Assistant Coach "Dauber" Dybinski on Coach, in movies, including Funny Farm, and several on-and-off Broadway stage shows. He had a role as the mentally retarded Tom Cullen in the 1994 mini-series Stephen King's The Stand. In 1999, he had a recurring role on HBO's original series Oz. Currently, Fagerbakke is known as the voice of Patrick Star on the SpongeBob SquarePants animated series. In 2007, he made a cameo appearance on the show Heroes as Steve Gustavson in the episodes "Run" and "Unexpected." Amongst his peers, Fagerbakke is known as a very serious method actor and has received critical acclaim as a thespian by the Screen Actors Guild and Juilliard School of Performing Arts for his roles as Shylock in Shakespeare's The Merchant of Venice, Torvald in Ibsen's A Doll's House, and most notably Dauber in Coach. Fagerbakke was involved in several controversial plot lines in Coach, including 'Dauber's Blow-Out' (Season 1, Episode 13) airing on June 7,1989 which involved a zany mixup.
Fagerbakke attended Minico High School in Rupert, Idaho, the University of Idaho (B.A. in theater arts), and Southern Methodist University. He is a member of Delta Tau Delta International Fraternity and currently owns a house in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
