Bob grew up wanting to be a gangster. His dream
as a child was to die in the electric chair like
James Cagney did in Angels With
Dirty Faces But, after spending
much of his teenage years taking unwanted
vacations in undesirable locales, and the demise
of someone he looked up to as a role model (even
though he was an ex-con, junkie, drug dealer),
he came to his senses (at 19) that being an
actor might be a better route to take
in life, with the possibility of living a longer
life & to have more control of where he lived
and how long he lived there. He also realized
he could play the bad guy and not get into
trouble doing it. So, he played them on stage,
TV and in film, including a variety of many different
types of roles. He loves to become other people
and the stage is his preference. He’s appeared in 82
plays. He idolized Marlon Brando, studied with
Stella Adler for 4 years, Harold Clurman, Corey
Allen, Lurene Tuttle and his mentor Gabe Dell.
He’s written several plays for himself that have
been produced at such venues as The Colony
Studio Theatre, The Victory Theatre, Palm
Springs One-Act Festival, The Met Theatre & Theatre East. He’s an
award winning Actor, Writer, Poet &
Photographer. He’s adapted one of his plays, Are You
Lonesome Tonight? to a screenplay (he
plays the title role of Elvis) and adapted his
one-act play, Stuck into an award winning short film directed by Bruce A.
Block, which is currently screening in film festivals worldwide. He has
several upcoming projects in the works, in which
he will be producing, writing & acting in.
He is inspired by his late wife Adelaide
Nimitz-Factor and dedicates his work to her
memory. |
