Robert Goodman is an actor who was born in Northampton in the UK. Schooldays were a living hell, from which he escaped aged just 15, when he trained as a chef. "I believe cooking to be a creative art" he says, "and the preparation of food should be carried out with love, which makes a difference to the enjoyment of eating: it is all to do with what intention is injected into the process. The same goes for any creative art. It was this realisation that prompted Robert to become an actor at the age of 19. "Acting for me is a journey of self discovery: it gives me the chance to visit aspects of myself that in life I perhaps wouldn't normally visit. As a young actor, Robert trained at the prestigious Birmingham school of speech training and Dramatic art. Working mostly in film, He has since trained extensively in Method acting, and still even now keeps up classes to stay in the loop working with the world's foremost acting coaches in London, Paris and New York. In the early days of his career between acting roles Robert worked as a London tour guide, and as a magician in the world famous Hamleys toy store in London's Regent Street. In his spare time Robert writes and directs his own short films. He has also written and performed his own 'One Man show', about the 'spirit' of London: A kind of biography of a City. Other interests include: London and country walking, Writing, psychogeography, the life and work of Dylan Thomas, the natural world and most things that life has to offer.
