I met Robert at the National Theatre. He was the male lead in our show and I was delighted to share the rehearsal room and stage with him for several months. Robert is magnetic, approachable, open, and his dedication to the craft is a source of inspiration. He is a terrific teacher, mentor and friend, and always helps me bring the best version of myself to each role.
