Victor Joseph Garber (born on March 16, 1949 in London, Ontario, Canada) is a six-time Emmy award nominated Canadian film, stage and television actor and singer.

Garber began acting at the age of nine, joining the University of Toronto's Hart House at age 15. In 1967 he formed a folk band called The Sugar Shoppe with Peter Mann, Laurie Hood and Lee Harris. The group enjoyed moderate success, even performing on The Ed Sullivan Show and The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson before breaking up. [1]

Garber has worked in various American and Canadian movies and television, such as James Cameron's Titanic (1997), where he played the RMS Titanic's shipbuilder Thomas Andrews, and CTV's E.N.G. (1991–1993), on which he had a recurring guest role. Other well-known appearances include Godspell (1973) as Jesus, Sleepless in Seattle (1993), Legally Blonde (2001), Annie (1999), and Tuck Everlasting (2002). In the late 1980s, he played the role of Liberace for a made-for-TV movie.

He appeared on Broadway in the original productions of Deathtrap, Sweeney Todd, and Noises Off and in the original off-Broadway cast of Assassins, and he continues to be a sought-after theatrical performer in musicals, comedies and dramatic productions.

His mother, Hope Garber, was an actress and singer. Victor was also her caregiver until her death from Alzheimer's Disease.

From 2001-2006, Garber played the role of Jack Bristow in J.J. Abrams's television series Alias alongside Ron Rifkin, Jennifer Garner (who played his daughter), and Lena Olin (as his wife).

He most recently appeared on the now-cancelled television series Justice on Fox.
