William Petersen

Petersen, who has one child from a previous marriage, married longtime girlfriend Gina Cirone in June of 2003. He won the Best Supporting Actor Oscar and the SAG Award for his work in Mystic River (2003). From 2000 to the present, Petersen has starred as Gil Grissom in the successful CBS crime drama CSI: Crime Scene Investigation. In 2003 a 15th-anniversary celebration of Bull Durham at the National Baseball Hall of Fame was cancelled due to controversy over his and Sarandon's public anti-war stance. Hathaway is a candidate for Vice President following the death of the incumbent. Robbins lives in New York City with Sarandon and their three children. He is a prominent spokesperson for anti-globalization, and vocally opposed the 2003 invasion of Iraq. In the 2000 release The Contender, Petersen played the role of Governor Jack Hathway. Robbins also continues to act in mainstream Hollywood thrillers like Arlington Road (1999) and Antitrust (2001), and to act in and direct Actors' Gang theater productions.

Instead, he worked on the 1987 made for TV movie Long Gone. Since that time he has written, produced, and directed several films with strong but subtle political content, such as the critically-acclaimed capital punishment saga Dead Man Walking in 1995, which earned him a directorial Oscar nomination, and 1999's Depression-era musical Cradle Will Rock. In a move perhaps indicative of his career choices, Petersen is alleged to have passed on a part in Oliver Stone's Platoon, as it would have kept him away from his family. Robbins then starred alongside Morgan Freeman in the critically acclaimed The Shawshank Redemption based on Stephen King's short story. His film career began with a small part in the 1981 film Thief, and in 1986 he starred as Will Graham in Manhunter (later to be remade as Red Dragon). His directorial and screenwriting debut was 1992's Bob Roberts, a mockumentary about a populist right-wing presidential candidate. After attending Bishop Kelly High School in Boise, Idaho and Idaho State University, the latter on a football scholarship, Petersen became a member of the Steppenwolf Theater Company. He received critical acclaim for his starring role as an amoral movie executive in the 1992 film The Player.

William Petersen, an American actor, was born on February 21, 1953, in Evanston, Illinois. On the set of that movie he began a relationship with fellow actor Sarandon that continues to the present day. He also took small parts in films, with a breakthrough part as pitcher "Nuke" LaLoosh in the 1988 baseball movie Bull Durham. On graduation in 1981, Robbins founded the Actors' Gang in Los Angeles, an experimental theater group, with actor friends from his college softball team. Robbins spent two years at Plattsburgh State University, then returned to California to attend drama school at UCLA.

Robbins joined Theater for a New City at age twelve, and participated in the drama club at Stuyvesant High School. Robbins was born in West Covina, California, but moved to Greenwich Village with his family at a young age while his father, Gil Robbins, pursued a career as a member of the folk music group The Highwaymen. He is the longtime companion of actress Susan Sarandon, with whom he shares strong leftist political views. Tim Robbins (born October 16, 1958, also Timothy Robbins) is an American actor, screenwriter, director and producer.
