Bob Larkin, a talented individual from the Midwest, made the bold decision to relocate to New York in 1949, where he embarked on a successful career as a photographer and actor.
Early in his professional journey, Larkin's impressive acting skills were showcased in the Academy Award-winning short film 3rd Ave. El (1955),directed by Carson Davidson, in which he starred alongside no other actors. Additionally, he was the sole actor featured in Carson Davidson's Academy Award-nominated short film Help! My Snowman's Burning Down (1965). His subsequent appearance in Robert Downey Sr.'s cult classic, Putney Swope (1969),further solidified his reputation as a talented thespian.
On the Broadway stage, Larkin made notable appearances in "The Front Page" alongside Robert Ryan and "The Great White Hope" alongside James Earl Jones. His extensive stage credits also include performances in "A Conflict of Interest" at the A.C.T. in Seattle, Eric Bentley's "Are You Now or Have You Ever Been?" at the Hollywood Centre Theatre, "In the Matter of J. Robert Oppenheimer" at the Goodman in Chicago, and "LUV" with Alan Alda in the Paramus, New Jersey, production.
After leaving New York in 1974, Larkin toured the country with Dorothy Lamour in the roadshow production of Noël Coward's "Fallen Angels" and with Gig Young in "Harvey". His impressive list of television, studio film, and indie film credits, accumulated over the years, is a testament to his enduring talent and dedication to his craft.
