Robert Hall is a burn survivor who many recognize for his role as the coroner, Dr. Albert Robbins, on the CBS hit series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. In his 20-year career, he has amassed numerous credits in film and television, including appearances in The Practice, The West Wing, Family Law, Touched by an Angel, and countless other TV shows. His feature film work includes roles in The Negotiator, Class Action, and Starship Troopers. Hall also performs voiceovers for commercials, cartoons, and narrations.
His role as a burn survivor in the movie Class Action closely parallels his life. In 1978, an 18-wheel truck hit his car and he was severely burned when his gas tank exploded. After several months in a burn unit and the amputation of both legs, he now walks comfortably on two prosthetic limbs. A devoted community activist, Hall is currently National Chairman of the Performers with Disabilities Caucus for the Screen Actors Guild and the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and is a member of numerous groups that represent individuals with disabilities, including the Mutual Amputee Foundation. He frequently speaks to disability-related organizations and has been a speaker at World Burn Congress. |
