In addition to his work in film, television, and theater, Robert records audio books, including the best seller Hit Man and Elmore Leonard's Mr. Paradise, and delivers his speaking program, Interacting, to a variety of groups, from acting classes to graduating classes; baggage handlers to CEOs; and once (he's pleased to report) to a group of white-collar criminals in a detention facility. He developed this program during the self-termed sliding second act of his career. Interacting is like a stand-up act with a menu of positive stories instead of jokes and a few jokes too. The stories are the lessons of his life and outline several guiding principles: respect, responsibility, parenting (even without children), excellence, and raising any job to the level of an art form.
