Early life, radio and stage

edit

Bartlett Robinson was born in Manhattan, New York, on December 9, 1912. He began his career in entertainment in 1933 when he and his friends formed a performance group called the "Sunday Players," who later drove across country together to Los Angeles, California, in hopes of finding steady work. There Robinson subsequently got a job in the city at radio station KFI.[1] For the remainder of the 1930s and into the 1940s, Robinson traveled back and forth between New York and Los Angeles to take parts in both stage and radio productions.[1][2] Some of his roles in old-time radio programs included the following:

Film and television career

By the late 1940s and throughout the 1950s, Robinson began to focus his acting career on productions in the rapidly expanding medium of television and on film projects. On June 13, 1949, he appeared on television in "Light Up the Sky", an episode on the anthology series Ford Theatre. He made his film debut playing the part of a guest in the 1956 comedy The Birds and the Bees, which starred George Gobel, Mitzi Gaynor and David Niven. Earlier, he had appeared in other television episodes, including Ski Story on the Armstrong Circle Theatre, which aired 13 January 1953. Among others television series, he made guest appearances in seven episodes of Gunsmoke (1956 -1960). Robinson made guest appearances in eight episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents (1958 - 1962), six episodes of Perry Mason (1959 - 1966) and three episodes of The Twilight Zone (1961 - 1962).[5] He played the role of Frank Caldwell in 26 episodes of Mona McCluskey (1965–1966)[6] and appeared in many other episodes, predominantly in supporting roles. His last appearance on television was in the episode "Law" on the television series Lou Grant, which aired on April 12, 1982 playing Jacob Bauman, a character he had already portrayed on the series in a 1979 episode titled "Witness". His final credited motion picture role was that of Dr. Orva in Woody Allen's 1973 film Sleeper.
