Known more as writer and director of movies such as Defending Your Life than a serious actor, who made his acting debut in 1976 playing one of Betsy's co-workers named Tom in Taxi Driver?

In Taxi Driver, Brooks' character - much like a lot of the characters he played in the future - was a hapless joke teller that tried, but failed, to protect Betsy from DeNiro's Travis.
