[edit] Description

Bart Rathbone is a main character in Adventures in Odyssey, voiced by Walker Edmiston (sometimes credited "Ed Walker").

Rathbone is known as a cheap and schemish businessman, always plugging "The Electric Palace", an electronics store he manages, pushing questionable sales promotions, and launching half-baked entrepreneurial ideas (such as "Rathbone's Electric Castle and Rock and Roll Instruments of Destruction" in episode #164: "Sixties-Something". He is also known for his ill-fated campaigns for the Mayorship of Odyssey. In episodes #286 "Tom for Mayor, Part 1" & #287 "Tom for Mayor, Part 2", he faces off against Tom Riley; in episodes #380: "The One About Trust, Part 1" & #381: "The One About Trust, Part 2", he runs against Margaret Faye. According to Bart himself in It Takes Integrity, he has been running for office since his school days.

Rathbones live at 4242 Sycamore Ln.


Rathbone and his son also spent time in jail due to their negative actions during the Blackgaard saga.

Now that Walker Edmiston has passed away, Bart Rathbone's original voice is gone. The creative team has revealed that for at least one show a new actor will take over Bart's voice, but whether the take-over will be permanent or not depends on the fans' reactions.

[edit] Family

Bart is the proud 'pop' of Rodney and the less-than-ideal husband of Doris Rathbone.
