    Robert Was in an accident when he was 31. He now uses prosthetics. He has been married three times and divorced twice. He has a son named Andrew. He is probably most known for his role as Doc Robins on CSI. hide show

    Okay so i really love this actor i think that he just does such a great job and he makes me smile. I love how he didnt give up on his acting even though he now uses prosthetics from his accident. He goes out and speaks about how they still should be placed in roles. He plays a lot of things. He plays the guitar,piano,and mandolin. I love how he plays his role as Doctor Robins on CSI. He seems to bring a lot of personality to the table. He adds a litte some thing to his characters that make them so loveable.

    An amazing actor and throughly convincing. hide show

    A thing that makes Robert David Hall so conving in his role of Dr Al Robbins is his ability to make you throughly believe that he is a coroner and knows exactly what he is doing and talking about. He is an absolute gem and an asset to CSI Las Vegas!

    Robert David Hall is just a remarkable and able man. His talent, strength and personality transcend all of his physical challenges -- he is an inspiration for us all. I would love to hear him sing in a rock band on CSI one day. hide show

    I had the good fortune of working near a burn unit when I was an undergraduate biology student. I saw such determination and strength beyond the physical and emotional pain. I learned that my daily stress-outs and problems were small as compared to what these brave persons had to endure just to live. I befriended a dear gentle man who was being treated in the unit and I came to understand peace and acceptance of ones self. This gentleman had lost one leg and most of his fingers in an apartment fire -- but his spirit was large and not at all lost.

    I am inspired by all of the patients in that burn unit and by Robert David Hall. He lets us see a man of strength and talent just being a man beyond physical challenges. I think that is what I like about Robert and CSI in general -- we see a cast of less than perfect people just being people with extraordinary talent.

    Thank you Robert for being the remarkable and able person you are.
