Biografía

He is the older brother of Julia Roberts and Lisa Roberts Gillan.

He became a father for the 1st time at age 34 when his [now ex] girlfriend Kelly Cunningham gave birth to their daughter Emma Rose Roberts, aka Emma Roberts, on February 10, 1991.

He has made just one movie - Blood Red (1989) - with sister Julia Roberts.

On June 4, 1981, he was driving in Connecticut with then-girlfriend Sandy Dennis's German Shepherd in the passenger seat when he crashed his jeep into a tree. While the dog escaped serious injury, Roberts spent 72 hours in a coma and was hospitalized for more than a month, forcing him to drop out of the Broadway show Mass Appeal.

His left hand ring finger is permanently disfigured, as a result of a 1980s car accident.

I do like the idea of putting something comical into an intense drama, and being intense in absurd circumstances within a comedy.

My life is going to kill me. We all get angry when we realize that. But the anger is fear.

I've had people say to me, "It's such a shame what happened to your career." I just smile and say I've had a blast. I really have.

I had a perfect track record up to Rude Awakening (1989). Then the track record goes bumpy, then it goes bad and I'm ruining myself with B movies. I've done a lot of shit. But I have reinstated myself.

This past 15 years, I made 120 movies, and I probably haven't seen 60 of them. But I've had a great time. I also don't have to die for my work anymore. I have never been more miserable or unhappy as when I shot Estrella de los 80 (1983) - as a person, just because of where I had to go every day. [2008]
