This actor was born on February 28, 1969, in Westwood, NJ. He started to play cinema at the age of 12, and his name is Robert. He has worked a lot(*), in theatre oeuvres and cinema films. However I knew him in a TV series very famous in Spain, or better said, well known around the world. I saw him in this American medical drama that has become a smash hit with critics and audiences. This is the fifth year in the FOX channel. He’s not the main character; he’s the best friend, or better, the unique friend of a special doctor who has high intelligence but null emotional intelligence, who is clever, cold, ironic and rational. I really like his friend, who is a doctor too, an oncologist called James Wilson. He’s really a good friend and they have a very special relationship. It’s interesting that Dr. Wilson is 3 times divorced in the film, and, in opposition, Robert married in August 2008 his long-time girlfriend Gabby, at the age of 39.
(*)Robert has worked on Broadway in Brighton Beach Memoirs and Breaking the Code and received a Tony nomination for his work as Eugene Marchbanks in a revival of Candida. He has also appeared in the films Mr. & Mrs. Bridge (1990), Married to It (1993), as Claudio in Kenneth Branagh's version of Much Ado About Nothing (1993), as a jazz enthusiast fighting the rise of Nazism in Swing Kids (1993), and as Daniel Day-Lewis' son in The Age of Innocence (also 1993). In 1994 he costarred in stage production There Goes My Baby.
Also in 1994, Robert was interviewed by Roy Harris, a longtime Broadway stage manager for Harris' book, Conversations in the Wings: Talking About Acting. The book features 13 actors including Stockard Channing and Madeline Kahn. Robert has continued to work on both stage and screen projects, and his ever-growing list of credits includes the critically acclaimed stage revivals of You Never Can Tell (1998) and The Iceman Cometh (1999), with Kevin Spacey, as well as roles in the films The Last Days of Disco (1998) and the television movie A Glimpse of Hell (2001). In between his roles in movies and plays, Robert has managed to narrate some classic works for audio books, including Conrad Richter's A Light in the Forest (1992), Douglas Coupland's Girlfriend in a Coma (1998), and Katherine Paterson's Bridge to Terabithia (2001).
In 2001, Robert was honored with a Tony award for his work in The Invention of Love (2001), and went on to star in his first Broadway musical, The Music Man (also 2001). He was again nominated for a Tony in 2003 for his role in Long Days Journey into Night (2003).
