He&#8217;s widely remembered by former addicts of &#8220;<em>Beverly Hills 90210<\/em>&#8221; as cult leader Professor Finley. In over 100 TV, theater, and film roles, Toy has played a wide assortment of characters, including parents, lawyers, doctors, scientists, veterans, teachers, and even a wheelchair-using mountain climber. His credits include Martin Scorsese&#8217;s &#8220;<em>The Aviator<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>In the Line of Fire<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Kansas<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Equal Justice<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Born on the Fourth of July<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>West Wing<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Matlock<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Profiler<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Diagnosis Murder<\/em>,&#8221; &#8220;<em>Highway to Heaven<\/em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>M*A*S*H.<\/em>&#8221; As a union activist in the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, Toy initiated the inclusion of people with disabilities in the protected groups contract language. He subsequently helped create and was the first co-chair of the Interguild Committee of Performers with Disabilities. He has actively encouraged fellow performers with disabilities to participate in the guilds&#8217; efforts to create a more positive working environment for their disabled members. Toy often participated in negotiations with producers over such issues as non-stereotypical portrayals and discrimination in the casting process. Toy won an IDEAS Scholar fellowship from the World Institute on Disability in 1989 to study television programming by and about people with disabilities in England. He later was a segment producer and on-camera reporter for several segments of &#8220;Same Difference,&#8221; one of the programs he studied. Toy&#8217;s on-camera reporting continued in the U.S. as the guest host of a segment of &#8220;<em>City View,<\/em>&#8221; a Los Angeles ABC public affairs show, and as the host of Evan Kemp&#8217;s TV pilot &#8220;<em>One Step Ahead<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alan Toy has been cast as President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in NBC&#8217;s holiday spectacular &#8220;Annie Live!,&#8221; set for Thursday, December 2 @ 8PM ET\/PT.
