Alias:
Rob Lombardi
Birthplace:
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
Born:
December 31, 1963
Roberto Lombardi was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA) and began his career at an early age, appearing on the Gene London Show at age 7, then began music lessons (drums) and showed a natural ability for music. He quickly moved on to other instruments (bass) in order to learn to not only play, but write his own songs, later taking voice lessons to handle lead vocals. At age 16, an interest in acting resurfaced. He studied acting in high school and college, then found theater roles both in school and regionally, eventually landing extra / featured roles in several major motion pictures. At this point music became the focus. He wrote, recorded and toured nationally with several bands, most notably April Fool, "The End", "The Facts", The Rage and Road Trip learning to play both keyboards and guitar in the process. In 2004, Lombardi again became focused on acting, signed with several agencies and began modeling while taking additional acting classes. Since then he has appeared in many films, television shows and commercials in a variety of roles in films such as The Happening, Bazookas: The Movie, Masks, Stand Off, Perfect: Android Rising and The Cemetery, as well as the popular fan films Krueger: Another Tale from Elm Street, The Nightmare Ends on Halloween II (as the iconic Freddy Krueger), Escape from New Jersey and Mr. J . He also starred in the ensemble tv series Brotherhood of Silver, The Underground Kings and Phantom Faye. Lombardi has worked behind the camera as well as in front with Actor, Producer and Assistant Director credits for Abduction and Paranormal Captivity. He is attached with Actor and Producer credit for the upcoming Extinction and directed the short film Masks: Facade. He has also been credited for Casting, Location Scout and Script Supervisor as well as doing Special FX Makeup and contributing music to Film Soundtracks. His production company 'RTL Productions' focuses on the development, publicity and production of new film projects such as Just Like Me which he produced as well as acted in. The company also releases Lombardi's past and future music projects and licenses music for film soundtracks. Roberto Lombardi also wrote the screenplay for the supernatural crime drama Voosha Day. Lombardi is also a producer for Blinky Productions, Inc., but mainly concentrates on acting. With John Orrichio Films, he worked as a Publicist, Assistant Director and Producer for many projects including the comedy spoof series Ghost Blunders which he also starred in and the ghost hunting reality series Ghost Chicks. When not on set he splits his time between the Philadelphia area, Los Angeles and New York City.

Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
