One of these productions, NYC Street Show, moved to an Off B'way theatre, The Actors Playhouse, and an agent (Monty Silver) who saw him in that production represented him on getting cast as the understudy in a production of Landscape of the Body at the NY Public theatre's Newmann Thtre, with Shirley Knight & F. Murray Abraham. When he was asked to replace in the juvenile lead role in Landscape, a few agents from the Bloom Agency attended and the next day was signed with J. Michael Bloom Agency's Legit Dept. Soon after, he was cast and made his Broadway debut, as a replacement in the TONY Award/Pulitzer Prize winning The Shadow Box at the Lunt Fontanne Theatre. Following this, he made his film debut in Voices for MGM Studios as Demetrius, with Barry Miller. Next, a workshop production of Nite Lites (Sleeparound Town) at the Public Theatre, under the direction of Wilford Leach. Joseph Papp & his artistic team were interested in the cast & creative team doing this as a main-stage production and encouraged the writer to further develop the piece. Rob was then offered the role, again, in The Shadow Box under the direction of Richard Chamberlain at the Charles Playhouse in Boston, Mass. He was then cast in an Off B'way production of Funeral March for a One Man Band at Westbeth Theatre (with Dwight Schultz) playing Tiny, who had terminal cancer (and this was a musical!). Then, went on to study Stella Adler with Mary Carver, Strasberg's Method with Ed Kovens, and finally, Sanford Meisner's work with James Price, Kathryn Gately and Fred Kareman, respectively. Hide
