Tim Robbins filmography

Son of folksinger Gil Robbins of ‘The Highwaymen’, the young Tim was surrounded by politics and theatre while growing up in New York’s Bohemian Greenwich Village. He returned to California to study drama at UCLA and, after his graduation in 1981, founded the ‘Actors Gang’, a politically radical and experimental avant-garde theatre troupe.

After TV work in the early 1980s, it wasn’t till his performance as a doltish pitcher in Ron Shelton's 1988 baseball comedy ‘Bull Durham’ that Robbins achieved real notice, while an off-screen romance with co-star [urlnew=http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biography_home/14:0/Susan_Sarandon.htm]Susan Sarandon [/urlnew]has since blossomed into one of Hollywood's most prominent couplings.

In 1992 he starred in Robert Altman's showbiz satire, ‘The Player’, winning Best Actor honours at the Cannes Film Festival. That same year, he wrote, directed, starred and performed the music in ‘Bob Roberts’, a mocumentary brutally parodying right-wing politics.

His most acclaimed directorial project to date was 1995's ‘Dead Man Walking’, an emotive examination of the death penalty, which earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Director; [urlnew=http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biography_home/590:0/Sean_Penn.htm]Sean Penn[/urlnew], portraying a death row inmate, garnered a Best Actor nomination, while Sarandon won Best Actress honours.

After a three-year break from acting, Robbins returned to the screen in 1997 with the comedy ‘Nothing to Lose’.

No stranger to controversy and a keen political activist, Robbins has often used his celebrity status to champion his causes. As co-presenters of the Academy Awards in 1993, Robbins and Sarandon seized the opportunity to publicise the plight of Haitian AIDS victims interned by the US at Guantanamo Bay. More recently, Robbins attended the massive anti-war rally, in opposition to the invasion of Iraq, in London on the 15th February 2003.

He and Sarandon currently reside in New York City with their two children, Jack Henry and Miles.
