The Resume

    (January 21, 1956- )
    Birth name is Robin David Segal
    Acted in 'Wait Until Dark (1967),' 'Jory (1972),' 'Jeremy (1973),' 'Death Be Not Proud (1975),' 'Ode to Billy Joe (1976),' 'One on One (1977),' 'Our Town (1977),' 'The End (1978),' 'Ice Castles (1978),' 'The Chosen (1981),' 'Two of a Kind (1983),' 'National Lampoon Goes to the Movies (1983),' 'California Girls (1985),' 'Beauty and the Beast (1991),' 'Sabrina, The Teenage Witch (1996-1997),' 'Beauty and the Beast: The Enchanted Christmas (1997),' 'Belle's Magical World (1998),' 'Dragonheart: A New Beginning (2000)' and 'American Dreams (2002-2003)'

Why he might be annoying:

    He was a teen idol.
    He was typecast as a sensitive hunk.
    He named his son 'Zephyr' and his daughter 'Lyric.'
    He provided voices for two straight-to-video 'Beauty and the Beast' sequels.
    He appeared in the sequel to the critical bomb 'Dragonheart.'
    He complains about a 'lack of decency' in today's pop culture (oh, as opposed to wholesome entertainments like 'California Girls' and 'National Lampoon Goes to the Movies,' Robby?).
    He married Karla Devito, the girl from Meatloaf's 'Paradise by the Dashboard' video.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He kept going by the name 'Robby' after he grew up, unlike some child stars who desperately try to change their image (Deborah Gibson, Rick Schroder, etc.).
    His acting career (briefly) bounced back when he did the Beast's voice in 'Beauty and the Beast.'
    He is an accomplished TV director who directed many episodes of 'Friends.'
    He survived two heart surgeries.
    He's raised a lot of money for heart research.
