Biography

Robert Goodman, a talented actor born in Northampton, UK, had a tumultuous school experience that led him to escape at the tender age of 15 by training as a chef. He believes that cooking is a creative art that requires love and intention, much like any other form of artistic expression.

As he grew older, Robert realized that his passion for cooking was not enough, and he decided to pursue a career in acting at the age of 19. He trained at the prestigious Birmingham School of Speech Training and Dramatic Art, working primarily in film. Robert has since honed his craft through extensive training in Method acting, and he continues to take classes with renowned coaches in London, Paris, and New York.

Between acting roles, Robert worked as a London tour guide and a magician at the famous Hamleys toy store in Regent Street. In his free time, he writes and directs his own short films. He has also written and performed his own one-man show, "The Spirit of London," a biography of the city that showcases his unique perspective.

When not acting, Robert enjoys exploring the great outdoors through London and country walks, writing, and practicing psychogeography. He is also fascinated by the life and work of Dylan Thomas and the natural world. With a zest for life, Robert is a multifaceted individual who continues to grow and evolve as an artist and a person.

Currently, Robert resides in London, UK, where he continues to pursue his passion for acting, writing, and exploring the world around him.
