Tim Robbins

This man is a genius.

Tim was born on 16 October 1958 in West Covina, California. He is quite unnecessarily tall (6' 5"). He graduated with honors in Drama from UCLA in 1981, the year he formed the Actors' Gang, an experimental ensemble that expressed radical political observations through the European avant-garde form of theatre. His big break came in 1988 with his portrayal of dimwitted fastball pitcher "Nuke" Laloosh in "Bull Durham." In the same year he married Susan Sarandon (nice one-Ed.), and they now have two children. Tall with baby-faced looks, he can play naive and obtuse ("Cadillac Man" and "The Hudsucker Proxy"), or slick and shrewd ("The Player" and "Bob Roberts"). He also makes intensely political movies.
