Robert Forster   

Topics: Inspirational, Motivational, Self-Esteem

Veteran actor Robert Forster speaks to a wide variety of groups, from ninth graders to a university commencement class; from an assemblage of actors to an audience of CEOs. His program, 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 – stuff we already know, but are reminded of through entertaining, thought provoking stories.

During his talks, Robert covers certain key stories (the “A List”) from his Menu, and then takes requests from the audience. In this manner, each group tailors the program to its particular needs. Robert’s thought-provoking messages include: delivering excellence, finding what’s true, respect, parenting, and the satisfaction derived from raising any job to the level of an art form.

During his 40-year career, Robert has appeared in such films as The Black Hole, Banyon, Medium Good, Alligator, Delta Force and Jackie Brown. His goal is to deliver the greatest benefit to the greatest number of people, and he speaks without charge to select groups in the Los Angeles area. Outside LA, Robert charges a fee, which he donates to an actor’s charity.

Glowing reviews include the following from The Hollywood Reporter: “With the possible exception of Morgan Freeman, there’s no actor in American movies today who projects effortless, world-weary gravitas better than Robert Forster.” And from the Washington Post: “Any doubts that we improve with age are put to rest by Robert Forster in Diamond Men . After watching his subtle, touching performance, you’ll think being over 50 is just about the coolest thing in the world.”
