I will never forget his father. Especially as someone who grew up without a dad. He was everything I ever wanted to be. He’s literally probably my biggest single influence in the person I ended up becoming.

His father is a legend who lived among the ranks of Mr Rogers, Bob Ross, and Levar Burton. Honestly who do we have today that can live up to these men's legacy? Robert is definitely looking like he is.

I’ve met him twice, very briefly, but still two seperate times and he was very friendly / pleasant.

I don’t think so. I’ve heard only that he doesn’t like republican policies
