REUNITED

 

Reunited Robert Pine

'Reunited' is a moving story about a rumpled novelist, Frank Lechner (Robert) who embarks on a literary ride whilst writing a memoir of his life with his beloved wife Sylvia. Throughout this journey he revisits various life changing experiences taking him back to some difficult times during the 1960s (played by Alex Schemmer and Cheryl Texiera). His young friend Dashiel spends his days wanting to borrow Frank's old completed novels, but Frank thinks he is too young to fully appreciate and understand them. Dashiel always interrupts Frank during his book writing sessions throwing his basket ball over the fence, which is an on going game, the ball for a book. However Frank is no longer so patient this time and gets annoyed with this game whilst he is trying to complete his memoir. Eventually he realizes that by passing the memoir to Dashiel to read, he is preserving his legacy, to the son he never had.

 

 

Based on Kubler-Ross' Five Stages of Grief, this award winning film is about a man's true love for his wife.

'CHiPs' Star and the Apocalypse Coming to 'Parks & Recreation'


We are about to see the merging of legendary television phenomena from past and present ... perhaps this is a sign of the apocalypse.

This fall, NBC's Parks & Recreation, arguably the funniest, cleverest sitcom on television, filled with an insuperably talented cast playing addictive, nuanced characters who actually might reinstate your faith in humanity, will welcome a guest from TV history. Fans of Parks & Rec may recall, in one of Leslie Knope's (the great Amy Poehler) upbeat monologues, mention of a cult that swept the show's setting of Pawnee, Indiana back in the 1970s. Well, apparently the cult is still going strong, and we are about to meet its leader, Herb, in the form of none other than CHiPs' heroic Robert Pine, father of the actor Chris Pine.

CHiPs was groundwork for unforgettable TV. It made television a cinematic experience. High-stakes intensity was not just limited to the big screen anymore, and CHiPs understood and perfected that.

As for Parks & Recreation, this is just a testament to how great the writers on the show are. What could have been a throwaway joke is turning into a full story for Leslie and her department to combat. The writing team is clearly dedicated to the little world they have created. Nothing is just tossed away or ignored. They love Pawnee, which is why we do.

The senior Pine, playing the eccentric cult leader, will visit the Parks Department with word of an imminent apocalypse, and plans to host an all-night vigil in the park. This will occur on Season 4's fifth episode. The premiere of the season will debut September 22 on NBC.

 


Robert starred as 'Gloucester' in KING LEAR at The Antaeus Company in North Hollywood in the summer of 2010. "An aging monarch, a kingdom broken and a family last to love. The blindness of sanity and the clear-eyed vision of fools and lunatics ... fathers, sons and daughters, drenched in the storm of life." Previews began June 12, 2010, and the play runs June 26, 2010 through Aug. 8, 2010.


Robert starred in the play Cousin Bette at The Antaeus Company from Jan. 23 to March 21, 2010.  Written by Jeffrey Hatcher, it is based on the novel by Honoré de Balzac.  Seductive, cunning and deliciously wicked.  Bette, a poor relation of the Hulot family, plots their destruction. Set in Paris in the mid-19th century, Hatcher's sublime adaptation of Balzac's masterpiece is a thrill-ride of violent jealousy, sexual passion and revenge.
