Robbins first caught the public’s attention in 1988 as a likeable but rather dimwitted baseball pitcher named Nuke Lalooosh in the film Bull Durham. Why shouldn't actors commit like that, too?” We wanted the energy we felt when we went to punk shows, that drive, that sweat. We had a different idea of what theatre could be. Robbins remembers, “We didn't want to do the theatre that was being done at our university theatre department. The group developed their own acting methodology they named The Style, which incorporates elements of commedia del arte, mask work, viewpoints, and focus on developing emotional states. After graduating in 1981, he started The Actors’ Gang with a group of his friends, including John Cusack. He began acting as a teenager with the Theatre for the New City and studied drama at UCLA. Tim Robbins was born in West Covina, California and raised in New York City’s Greenwich Village.
In addition to pursuing his own diverse career, he also launches and nurtures others in their own theatrical productions - in prisons, schools, summer programs, public parks, and communities around the world. Academy Award-winning actor, director of performances on stage and film, producer, writer and activist, Tim Robbins believes in the joy and transformative power of the arts. 2017 Benjamin Franklin Creativity Laureate in the Arts and Public Service
