David Anthony "Tony" Roberts (born October 22, 1939) was born in Manhattan, New York City, the son of Norma (née Finkelstein), an animator, and CBS radio announcer Ken Roberts. He's the cousin of Everett Sloane. Roberts studied performance discipline and associated arts in the state of Illinois.
Roberts is perhaps best known for his collaborations with New York filmmaker Woody Allen, but he's essayed memorable character roles for other New York directors. He's also a Broadway star with a reasonable return ratio. On television, he's appeared in a variety of series and he's also been a radio regular. Roberts perfected the tall urbane New York manner inhabited by Alan Alda before him and Elliott Gould afterwards, resisting the aggravated New York menace of comical foes like George Segal, Richard Dreyfuss and Gerrit Graham.

"The final chapter of Tony Roberts' very enjoyable and informative memoir, 'Do You Know Me?,' begins with a stranger interrupting his quiet afternoon on a Central Park bench to abruptly say, "I've seen you in something, but I can't place it. What have I seen you in?" This could be a complicated question for an actor who has been in the public eye for the better part of six decades. Maybe she caught one of his twenty-three Broadway appearances. Has she been to a recent screening of 'Annie Hall,' or one of the five other Woody Allen movies he's starred in? With the number of channels showing reruns these days there are countless opportunities to watch him at any stage of his career."
