In Detail
Robert’s acting career began at Yale when he landed a leading role in Leonard Bernstein’s Mass and later performed it in the European premiere of that work. He, then a biology major, abandoned his pre-med plans and graduated Magna Cum Laude with a B.A. in Drama. His childhood passion for biology helped forge his lifelong interest in science and exploration. He served for more than 15 years on the advisory board of The Planetary Society and has been a member of its Board of Directors since 2015. Tantalising recent discoveries of water on Mars and the possibility of finding microbial life made the invitation to join the board auspicious and irresistible. Robert continues to captivate audiences on screen. In 2024, he reprised his iconic role as The Doctor in the upcoming series Star Trek: Starfleet Academy, set to premiere in 2025.
