Amsberry was a disk jockey and Walt Disney Studio Mousketeer. He started as a DJ on KEX and his show "Squirrel Cage" caught the attention of Walt Disney. Amsberry was on his way to visit his parents when his sports car ran off the highway and he was killed.∼The least-known of the three adults in the regular cast, Bob was seen in a variety of character parts, and as a leader of the Blue Team Mouseketeers, during the first two seasons. Originally hired as a songwriter, he was dismissed from the show during the third season for unknown reasons. Unfortunately there was very little aftermath to the Mickey Mouse Club show for Bob. While filming the show, he and Roy Williams had carpooled to the studio. Roy told Jerry Bowles in 1975 that Bob used to complain about Roy's inattention to the road while driving. Ironically, a few months after his dismissal from Disney, it was Bob who was killed in an automobile accident in Portland.
