Character actor Robert David Hall plays quirky coroner, Dr. Albert Robbins, on the Emmy-nominated CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. The CBS show is seen weekly by more than 27 million people in the United States and is syndicated internationally.
In his 20-year career, Mr. Hall has amassed numerous credits in film and television. His feature film work includes: F. Gary Gray's The Negotiator, starring Kevin Spacey and Samuel L. Jackson; Paul Verhoeven's Starship Troopers, starring Casper Van Dien and Denise Richards and Michael Apted's Class Action, starring Gene Hackman and Laurence Fishburne.
In 1978, an 18-wheel truck struck Robert Hall's car and he was severely burned when his gas tank exploded, leading to the amputation of both legs. Today, he walks comfortably on two prosthetic limbs. It was his role as a burn survivor in Apted's Class Action that most closely parallels his life.
A devoted community activist and one of the most prominent actors with a disability working today, Mr. Hall proudly serves on the Board of Directors of the National Organization on Disability. He just completed his term as a National Board Member of the Screen Actors Guild and is National Chairman of the Performers with Disabilities Caucus for SAG, AFTRA and EQUITY. He sits on the boards of The Mark Taper Forum's "Other Voices Project" and The Media Access Office. He is a member of the Mutual Amputee Foundation and often visits recent amputees.
