Roddy Maude-Roxby

Roderick A. Maude-Roxby (born 2 April 1930) is a retired British actor. He has appeared in numerous films, such as Walt Disney's The Aristocats, where he voiced the greedy butler Edgar Balthazar (his only voice role), Unconditional Love, and Clint Eastwood's White Hunter Black Heart, playing Thompson.

Born in London in 1930, by the time he was 13 he had written two children's books about the adventures of a frog named Bulgy. By the age of 17 he was living in Melbourne, Australia, where he edited a page for The Age, drawing Bulgy comic strips for kids to colour in at home.

An early innovator at the Royal College of Art (RCA) alongside David Hockney and Peter Blake, he was one of the UK's first performance artists, before it was a recognized art form. At the RCA he edited ARK magazine in 1958 and was president of the college's Theatre Group.
