Hi Cirt. I just stumbled on your request for feedback on your Talk page randomly. My only thought is the article reads too much like a list of roles without covering early life, inspiration, reception, personality, etc. On the other hand, it's not an area I normally edit. I looked at some other movie star articles and felt the same way. I was surprised that the Johnny Depp article had so much about his personal life, but didn't explain his reputation for covering such a diverse set of roles. I may be in the wrong here.

I have access to an online database through my local library - I'll see if it has anything missing. Corporate 19:50, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

It would also be worthwhile to ask the subject if they are willing to donate an image. Corporate 19:52, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

All great ideas, I agree! And thank you for your help with research, much appreciated! Cheers, — Cirt (talk) 19:58, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

I put in the quote of this citation a very minor tidbit that could be a helpful clarification/detail on his role in one of the movies.

Billington, Michael (May 24, 2001), "Reviews: Theatre: Herons: Royal Court, London 4/5 stars", The Guardian, London, p. 11, Robert Boulter as his[Seymour's] teenage tormentor. {{citation}}: |access-date= requires |url= (help)

Okay thanks very much! — Cirt (talk) 20:40, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Some mushy gushy stuff here:

"A special night for United Way", The Wilton Bulletin, Mar 6, 1996, retrieved October 14, 2012

It looks like a letter to the editor, but does tell us that he and his wife moved to the Norwalk area in 1996 and that they donated $25 per ticket to the United Way. I also keep looking at this,[1] but I think it must be a different Robert, unless this one is quite old. Getting married in 1966 would make him in his 50s or 60s at least.

I don't know how personal we want to get, but apparently his mother was a cafeteria manager at Stone School in Walpole, Mass, had an art degree and passed away in 1992.[2] I'm not sure that's worth putting in, but just posting what I found.

We gotta be careful, a few of these above look like different men with same name who are older. — Cirt (talk) 01:08, 15 October 2012 (UTC)

I thought that might be the case, wasn't sure how old this guy is, but if he's a movie star - probably younger. Corporate 23:02, 20 October 2012 (UTC)

Yeah, he's quite a bit younger than those other guys cited above, picture of him seen here, link at IMDB. — Cirt (talk) 23:04, 20 October 2012 (UTC)
