Born and raised in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, Robert Picardo graduated from the William Penn Charter School. He entered Yale University as a pre-med student, not knowing that he would someday portray doctors in three separate productions: first as Dr. Dick Richard on the ABC series China Beach, then as Dr. McCaskill in the theater production In The Waiting Room at the Mark Taper Forum, and then as The Doctor on Star Trek:
… More Voyager.I found a video on the MGM Stargate site that has Robert Picardo talking about his character "Richard Woolsey" on Stargate Atlantis. It's kind of interesting, I always like to see what the actors have to say about the characters they play. … More http://stargate.mgm.com/specialops/link.php?urlid=35&id=1564 Joe Flanigan is in the video briefly, as well. I'm going to be so sad when Atlantis ends this year! But at least there are still a few new episodes. :) an official stargate special ops member
Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Robert Picardo. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Robert Picardo is possibly one of the more underrated actors in the business today. I especially thought he was great as "The Doctor" on Star Trek Voyager. He really played the part well and was one of the better characters of the entire Star Trek series. He's been really good in his other works as well. I remember seeing him in Seven Days and lately on Stargate. It seems that he has a knack for fitting a role rather well. Overall, I have to say that he is a great actor and is very underrated. I think he is also very versatile. Thank you.
I wish I could find a FULL mp3 version of his performance of "Rondine al nido" in the ST:Voyager Episode "Virtuoso". I found one from Pavarotti, but I like Picardo's performance more.
Amazing how a good voice he has!
I actually thought all the time that it wasn't him singing that part, but after searching the internet for quite a while I read that this song was really performed by him.
Too bad he apparently never released any CDs.
Of course, one should not forget his skills as an actor, especially on Voyager as the EMH Doctor, but I also liked his role on Stargate SG-1 when he teamed up with my personal legend RDA (Jack O'Neill).
Bob, if you reading this: get me your version of Rondine al'nido, please.
Thank you :)
Robert picardo is an inspiration for me!! it all tarted on Star Trek Voyager where he played the doctor for 7 years!! and it was soo funny!! then he was on Stargate Sg-1 and we've see his talent in serious situation!! ans the man is also a signer!! so a big five star to him!!
