Robert L. O’Neill
Actor
Robert O’Neill first got the bug for acting when he took improvisational acting classes in High School. In the 1980’s he enjoyed dressing up as a clown or as Frankenstein for Children’s Parties. In 2009 he took Improvisation and Scene study classes with teachers Jerry Brody, Carl Stillitano and Erin Flowers at The Open Door Acting Company. He has been in over 40 shows with The Open Door Acting Company since 2012. Robert enjoys playing diverse character actors ranging from the timid to the fierce, from the comedic to the dramatic. Robert brings truth and humanity to all the roles he plays.

About Me
Acting has been a blessing in my life. I have enjoyed exploring the many sides to human nature. I have learned that I must let go and trust whenever I am playing a role. I don’t know how to be a character with my mind but when I commit to the truth of my character my intuition knows best. I love this challenge of not knowing mentally and trusting anyway. Letting go of the ego’s grasp is one of my greatest joys in life! I have also learned that taking my attention off of myself and focussing on being of service to any actor I am playing opposite is in truth what makes acting a really worthwhile and rewarding experience.
