Robert “Texas Bob” Hinkle

Robert “Texas Bob” Hinkle is a genuine legend in the entertainment business. Actor, writer, director, dialogue coach are just a few of his titles. From working with famed director George Stevens to appearing with Chuck Norris on “Walker, Texas Ranger,” Bob has seen it all and done it all. His closest friends have included James Dean, Paul Newman, Elizabeth Taylor, Chill Wills, Marty Robbins and many more of the industry’s most talented individuals. Bob worked on “Gunsmoke”, the longest-running series on network TV as well as many of the other popular series of that time. Bob’s insight into the business during the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s is not to be missed.

Visit Texas Bob online to see some of his accomplishments and pick up a copy of his book, “Call Me Lucky, A Texan in Hollywood” for a great reading experience.
