In an interview on "Pat Sajak Weekend" (2003), he talked about when he first expressed an interest in acting while in his early twenties. Initially, he was reluctant to tell his father what he wanted to do with his life and, when he finally confessed, his father was less than happy with his son`s career choice. But, the man had blessed his son by simply telling Robert he had to go with how he felt and follow his passion.
