You may recognize actor, comedian, and celebrity impressionist Roger Kabler from his touring Robin Williams act, or possibly as the "Zima Guy" from the Zima beverage commercials back in the 90s. He's now written, directed, produced, and starring in a new film called "Being Robin" that explores themes of spiritual possession vs mental illness, as Roger presents his experience touring with his impression as Robin Williams after his death.
In this interview, Roger shares his process of using the Meisner acting technique for impressions of celebrities like Al Pacino, Robert Deniro and Marlon Brando, and reveals how it was to work with Meisner himself. He also recounts a funny early career story about how a lunch with Halle Berry went south, as well as more challenging failures such as his cancelled sitcom, and difficult yet powerful stories about battling addiction and how he finally got sober through painting.
BEING ROBIN premieres in the US on Sep 17th at the historic Landmark Theater in Westwood, and will be released on streaming platforms on Nov 5th
