My Mum often said that I was named Robert after Robert Mitchum…But there were lots of acting Robert’s, or actors born in the fifties called Robert. So while having a shower this morning I began to think how many Robert’s there were, and I came up with seven…Can anyone think of anymore/

(1) Robert Mitchum

(2) Robert Taylor

(3) Robert Duval

(4) Robert Vaughn

(5) Robert Shaw

(6) Robert De Niro

(7) Robert Wagner

I think we can turn this into a quiz about famous Roberts, but won’t limit it to the 1950’s.

Here’s a clue for my first one…

Recently killed by his own son.

Robert Burns - of course !!

I never thought of Robert Stack, I loved him playing in the TV series of ‘The Untouchables’ I never missed an episode after coming home from the pub and constructing a cheese and onion sandwich.
And how could I forget the great Robert Falk…Such a brilliant detective.
I had to look up Robert Young and realise I had seen many films he appeared in, and states that his sibling was ‘Roger Moore’ ?
How could I have possibly forgot to add Robert Redford and Robert Culp who both appeared in my favourite westerns ‘Butch and Sundance’ and ‘The Magnificent Seven’…
Good one Besoeker, Robert Burns, and not forgetting ‘Robert the Bruce’
Any explorer is worthy of a mention in a list of my most admired people, and Robert Falcon Scott must be one of the best behind ‘Ernest Shackleton’…
Had to look up Robert Pattinson also Dachs, I’ve never actually seen a film he has starred in not being a ‘Batman’ fan since Michael Keaton starred in the role.
Not familiar with Robert Leonhard Dachs, although I loved Robin Williams in ‘Dead Poets Society’

Robert Zimmerman.
Although probably only his mother ever called him Robert.

His full name is Robert Sean Leonhard. He played Neil, the guy who founded the club and finally shot himself since he didn’t want to lead the life his father had planned for him.
I only know Pattinson from the media hype around his role in Twilight which I’ve never seen.
