Robert I. Kabakoff
Personal Information
Description
In 1993 Robert Kabakoff committed himself to a career devoted to performing as an actor in film, stage, television and commercial productions and has been a working member of the Screen Actors Guild since 1997. He has thus had the privilege of working with many of the most talented people in one of the world's most creative and competitive professional environments. In 1999, on a parallel and complimentary track he was granted a Bachelor's Degree - cum laude - in Security Management from the John Jay College of Criminal Justice. Prior to that and for over ten years he was gainfully self-employed in the trucking business in NYC. Any spare time he may now have is spent traveling the world. These adventures have brought him to many diverse and fascinating locales, among them: Moscow, Marseilles, Medellin, Paris, Athens, Amsterdam, London, Edinburgh, Beijing, the Galapagos, Bangkok, Rome, Istanbul, Hanoi, Cairo and Jerusalem through Rio de Janeiro, Maccu Piccu, Hong Kong and Mexico City to points beyond which are too many to list, but he documents his experiences in a weekly email newsletter titled Tip From the Top and would be flattered to add you upon your request. Rob was born in Philadelphia and raised in the quaint old sea shore community of Brooklyn, New York. Got a problem wit dat?

"A park bench. A shoe salesman. Death row." As the second installment of a three-part series, a personal memoir detailing the slings and arrows of my outrageous young life, I tell the tale, beginning with the well-aimed gun-shot, then circle back around to where Kabbo: Volume I, left off, and finally close the circle by bringing the reader back up to date with the consequences of the blast.

This volume, being the third and final in a three-part set, was inspired in part by Socrates, who observed that an unexamined life is not worth living. Well, I’m not so sure I see the connection, but I took the advice anyway. This way, when the Great Haymaker in the Sky asks, 'I gave you life. What have you done with it?' these three memoirs are my answer. Together, they tell the story of a dangerously troubled teenager who ended his outlaw career behind bars, and upon release, evolved into a successful, independent New York City trucker, ladies' man, and bon vivant—interrupted a decade later by a return to madness, homelessness, and incarceration—ultimately to begin again as a professional screen actor who spent nearly a quarter of a century on film sets, an honors student in criminal justice, a security manager for a notorious Brooklyn rabbi, a world traveler, and author of this three-volume memoir. That’s my story: just another guy on the bus, trying to keep his seat until the last stop. Got it? Good. Okay, let’s ride.
