Nick Bakay (Pronounced: BUH-K-EYE) (born October 8, 1959 in Buffalo, New York) is an American actor, voice actor, and writer. He attended Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio and later Southern Methodist University. He is best known as the voice of Salem Saberhagen on the US TV sitcom Sabrina, the Teenage Witch (TV series) (where he also served as a writer), and the cartoon series Sabrina, the Animated Series, and as the voice of Norbert on Angry Beavers. Early in his career he wrote the storylines for the Evil Clown Comics series which appeared in National Lampoon magazine. From 1993-1994, he was a writer for the comedy sketch series In Living Color, and appeared as Stu Dunfy, the host of the fictional game show The Dirty Dozens. Bakay currently serves as supervising producer and writer on the CBS hit comedy, The King of Queens, where also occasionally plays one-time characters, and does voice-over work.
He has appeared in many segments in Sportscenter on ESPN and on "NFL Total Access" on NFL Network during the NFL season. He also writes occasional columns for espn.com and ESPN The Magazine.
He has guest starred on many TV sitcoms, including That 70's Show, and Seinfeld. In the Seinfeld episode ("The Smelly Car"), Bakay plays Elaine's boyfriend who in the beginning of the episode is so great because he "pillages and plunders," but later on, he can't bear being with Elaine because of the intense body odor she acquired from being in Jerry's car. In the That 70's Show episode (Ski Trip), he plays Gus, a gay truckdriver attracted to Kelso.
He has also reprised his role as "Salem" on the TV series The Simpsons and Boy Meets World. Bakay was the sidekick on two late night talk shows, Night After Night with Allan Havey and Dennis Miller's short-lived show.
- He married writer Robin Bakay in February 1994.
