Robert LeRoy Sampson

I met Bob in Rome during the shoot of the Stuart Gordon film set in the future, "Robot Jox." Cast members Bob, Danny Kamekona, Michael Alldredge and I soon formed a happy gang on the town. One night over drinks, laughter and a little impromptu singing we swore off cigarettes. After we went our separate ways Bob phoned from L.A. to report on a colleague we both knew who'd been hospitalized from a car accident. Bob described the visit to the man's bedside. Though he'd lapsed into a permanent...

I´m so sorry for your loss. I had no idea that Robert had passed away. I´m actually a cousin of Robert. I never got a chance to meet him before he passed. My great uncle,Cecil Ostrom told me about him when I was a child. He was able to get me an autographed photo of Robert. I would love to meet anyone from the family as they are my family as well .

I never managed to get in full contact, but I was interested in knowing about Mr. Sampson's involvement in this rare film and he gave an excellent performance in it. It's a shame "Ethan" is so rare to see these days. And yes, he is also great in the much loved horror classic "Re-Animator" and in the Twilight Zone episode 'Little...
