The son of a Newark dentist, Robert Ellenstein grew up in that New Jersey city and saw his father go on to become its two-term mayor. He got his feet wet acting-wise prior to serving with the Air Corps during World War II; earning a Purple Heart during his service, he began acting, directing and teaching in Cleveland, Ohio. A veteran of the "Golden Age" of live television (he played Quasimodo in a live Robert Montgomery Presents (1950) version of "The Hunchback of Notre Dame"), he made his first film in 1954 (MGM's Rogue Cop (1954)) and was still active in television and regional theater. He taught theatre professionally and academically for over 50 years, founding the Los Angeles Academy of Stage and Cinematic Arts.

His passion for photography and story telling was tested and expanded while creating small "home" videos with his children and family. Now, his children are grown and he takes great pleasure creating videos that tell how small friendly aliens explore earth. However, this does not consume all his time and passion, so he takes on roles in other projects as an actor and background actor. From years of directing others, he has an instinct for giving the director what he wants with little instruction. After actor, Val Kilmer, selected Robert Emery as the winner of the 2017 "Val Kilmer" Doc Holliday look alike contest in Tombstone, he has fallen into 1880 period character roles, including Doc Holliday as an film actor and live reenactor. He was born in 1971 in the north part of California and resides in Phoenix, Arizona. He is the father of four sons and grandfather to one girl.
Robert Emhardt looked and sounded as if he had intentionally been created by some perverse god to play villains. Though rotund, he had hooded, lizard-like eyes and a drawling whine in his voice. The real Robert Emhardt, however, was a well-educated, cultured, generous man, not at all like the characters he often portrayed. Robert Christian Emhardt was born in Indianapolis, Indiana. His father was C.J. Emhardt, a lawyer, judge, and onetime mayor of the city. The younger Emhardt received his early training as an actor in the theater at Butler University. He then went to London, England, where he gained experience at The London Academy of Dramatic Art in 1937-38, and played in repertory with the British Broadcasting Company while there. While in England, he met the woman who would become his wife, the well-known English actress Silvia Sedeli. The couple would go on to have four children. Eventually he found himself understudying Sydney Greenstreet on an American tour. He stayed in the United States, debuting on Broadway in 1942 in "The Pirate." He went on to win the Critics' Circle Award as best supporting actor in "Life with Mother" (1948-49) and appeared in eleven other plays in New York until his last in 1959. He made his film debut in The Iron Mistress (1952), a fictionalized life of Jim Bowie starring Alan Ladd. Among his other memorable movies were 3:10 to Yuma (1957), Underworld U.S.A. (1961), and The Stone Killer (1973) with Charles Bronson. His favorite and probably best film role was as Shirley Knight's paunchy and gracious but ultimately insane father in The Group (1966). Emhardt had a busy career. He also acted in 125 summer stock productions and 250 television programs, such as Have Gun - Will Travel (1957), The Untouchables (1959), Perry Mason (1957), Bonanza (1959), and six episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1955). He had a recurring role on the soap opera Another World (1964). Emhardt was extremely active in St. Augustine's Episcopal Church in Santa Monica and gave a great deal of support to The Boy Scouts of America. In his spare time (Emhardt had spare time?) he followed sports and enjoyed ballet. Robert Emhardt died due to heart failure on December 26, 1994, in Ojai, California.
Stalwart Irish-American character actor Robert Emmett O'Connor was born on March 18, 1885, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He made his bones performing in circuses and in vaudeville. He made his Broadway debut in the musical "Fritz in Tammany Hall" at the Herald Square Theatre on October 16, 1905, ultimately appearing in 13 musical comedies and operettas on the Great White Way through 1930 (he also appeared in four straight plays during that period, mostly comedies such as "The Old Soak" during the 1922-23 season). After 1930, he never appeared on Broadway again, focusing instead on his movie career. He made his movie debut in 1920 in the Harold Lloyd comedy short His Royal Slyness (1920), directed by Hal Roach. He made six comedies for the Hal Roach Studios in the years 1920-21, including one more Harold Lloyd vehicle, Never Weaken (1921), before taking a five-year hiatus from films. He returned in the Thomas Meighan drama Tin Gods (1926), directed by Allan Dwan, then spent the next 24 years acting in movies. In 1930, he went back to the Roach Studios to support Laurel and Hardy in two Spanish language shorts, then moved over to Warner Bros. as a bit player. He played the Irish bootlegger Paddy Ryan in the classic The Public Enemy (1931) in support of fellow Irish-American James Cagney and appeared in another classic, Mystery of the Wax Museum (1933). He then settled into being typecast as Irish cops. After he moved on to MGM, the typecasting led to one of his most famous roles: the plainclothes detective in pursuit of the Marx Brothers in A Night at the Opera (1935). During the 1940s, still under contract to MGM, he was kept busy, appearing in every genre, including the "Our Gang" comedies. His last film role was as the Paramount Studios guard who remembers Norma Desmond in Sunset Blvd. (1950). He virtually retired from acting at the age of 65, though he made some television appearances in the 1950s. Robert Emmett O'Connor died on September 4, 1962, of injuries sustained in a fire. He was 77 years old.
