Academy Award-winning Tim Robbins ranks among contemporary cinema’s most acclaimed and provocative voices; a multifaceted talent, he has proved so adept at wearing the various hats of actor, writer, and director; and he is also a musician. After appearing in television series (Hill Street Blues, St. Elsewhere), he started film work in television movies in 1983 (Toy Soldiers, Fraternity Vacation), but hit the big time in 1988 with his portrayal of dimwitted fastball pitcher “Nuke” Laloosh in Bull Durham (1988). Dead Man Walking, a gut-wrenching examination of the death penalty, earned him an Oscar nomination for Best Director and he was nominated for
The Shawshank Redemption. His performance in Mystic River won him an Oscar. Other acting and directing credits include: Cadillac Man, The Hudsucker Proxy, The Player, Bob Roberts, Short Cuts, Ready to Wear (Prêt-à-Porter), Nothing to Lose, Cradle Will Rock, Arlington Road, High Fidelity, AntiTrust, Mission to Mars, Human Nature, Code 46, Zathura, War of the Worlds, Catch a Fire. He directed the television movie, Possible Side Effects, and episodes of the popular HBO series Treme. In 2010, Tim Robbins and the Rogue’s Gallery Band released their self-titled debut album. Robbins founded The Actor's Gang Theatre in 1981
Marc Maron has been writing and performing raw, honest and thought-provoking comedy for print, stage, radio and television for over 15 years. He has appeared on HBO, Conan, Letterman, Craig Ferguson, Real Time, The Green Room and two Comedy Central Presents specials.
