Todd A. Robinson is an actor/writer/director/producer, whose professional performing career began in high school, as Tom of Warwick in a local dinner theater's production of Camelot. In 1997, after about ten years off to serve in the US Navy Submarine Corps and a brief stint in rock and roll in Portland, Oregon, he traveled to Los Angeles for an opportunity to audition for a TV comedy pilot. After a week of writing and creating video proofs for a season's worth of ideas, the sketch comedy troupe Todd was in got the gig and worked on the pilot episode at a legendary TV studio. This first taste of the entertainment industry set him on a course that has led to a solid career of lead and supporting roles in scores of independent feature films, as well as supporting roles on network TV. Since 2001, Todd has been the Founder/Creative Director of DrunkTiger Media, based in Portland, Oregon.
Todd, a US Navy Submarine Corps veteran, was awarded the Navy Commendation Medal for lifesaving in 1989. He served as a Poseidon C-3 Missile Technician aboard the USS Woodrow Wilson (SSBN 624), where he also earned his submarine qualification and Submarine Warfare Insignia.
The scars on his face are a result of a 35-foot, face-first fall that Todd survived in the Spring of 1994. He has titanium plates on his lower jaw and right eye orbit. He also fractured his pelvis and some metatarsals in the incident. Nine weeks later, after getting the cast removed from his leg and wires cut off of his jaw, Todd and his friends were jumping off of a cliff into the water at Prineville Reservoir, in Central Oregon.
Was the lead singer and percussionist for Portland Ska band, Kid Unconscious, from 1993-1995. During that period, the band was fortunate enough to play with acts like The Skatalites and The Specials.
Todd spent the better part of his Summers at Anaheim Stadium in the 1980s, attending scores of California Angels games with his father and brother. Highlights included watching Rod Carew collect his 3000th hit, and Reggie Jackson slugging his 500th home run out of the park. Even on nights when they didnt make the game, they would wait outside of the visiting teams exit, collecting autographs from nearly every American League star of the decade.
