Robert's interest in directing has taken him through several plays, short
films and a feature film.
He has sold as a writer, and currently
has a number of projects in development.
He has also been on the producing line on two features for New World
Pictures.
The value of an acting teacher who is a working actor, who also writes and
directs, is of great value to serious actors who are learning and working
professionally. It is knowing and having a complete range of
technique and being willing to show it, that makes the professional.
What is taught is not academic, it is what an actor needs to know to
compete and then do the job well.
