Robert Rockwell est un Acteur Américain né le 15 octobre 1920 à Chicago (Etats-Unis)
Robert Rockwell (October 15, 1920 – January 25, 2003) was an American actor, perhaps best known for playing the handsome, but awkward biology teacher Philip Boynton in the radio and television situation comedy, Our Miss Brooks opposite Eve Arden. However, he also starred in his own ABC western-themed television series, The Man from Blackhawk in the 1959-1960 season. "Blackhawk" is an insurance company, and Rockwell, at thirty-nine, was cast as the company's key investigator, Sam Logan, who is assigned to weed out fraud in the payment of claims.
A native of Chicago, Illinois, Rockwell studied at the Pasadena Playhouse, from which he obtained a master's degree. Dramatic roles often eluded him, however, after beginning his career as a contract player for Republic Studios he appeared, over his almost 50-year acting career, in more than 350 television episodes and, on stage, opposite José Ferrer in the 1946 Broadway production of Cyrano de Bergerac, and with Ginger Rogers during the 1960s in a San Diego production of Whitfield Cook's play A More Perfect Union.
Rockwell was a founding member of the California Artists Radio Theatre. He played standard leads in a couple of anti-Communist-era features, including Republic's The Red Menace (1949), in which he is cast as a returning veteran of World War II, who is duped by communists.
In the first episode of The Adventures of Superman, he played Superman's father Jor-El. In 1952, he was cast in the episode "The Porcelain Lion" of Kirby Grant's western aviation adventure series, Sky King. Rockwell appeared in several episodes of the NBC television anthology series The Loretta Young Show (1958), in which he played Loretta Young's husband. Rockwell made five guest appearances on Perry Mason during the run of the CBS series from 1957 to 1966. In 1961 he played defendant Air Force Major Jerry Reynolds in "The Case of the Misguided Missile," and in 1962 he played murderer Cole B. Troy in "The Case of the Shapely Shadow," and murderer Everett Rixby in "The Case of the Lurid Letter."
Later in his career, he appeared on episodes of Growing Pains (1988–1990) and Beverly Hills, 90210 (1993). His appearances in commercials and voiceovers totaled more than 200, most notably as the armchair grandfather treating his grandson to a piece of candy in the 1995 version of the Werthers Original candy spot.
