Robert Pierce is a graduate of the prestigious Neighborhood Playhouse School of Theater in New York City where he studied under the highly esteemed acting teacher, Sanford Meisner. While in New York, he made his professional acting debut in the role of Lysander in Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream."

A native of California, Robert returned home to Los Angeles and soon began to receive starring and co-starring roles in many movies-of-the-week and episodic television shows. He was a regular on the ABC series Joanie Loves Chachi (1982) wherein he played "Bingo," the drummer. He also had a recurring role as Dabney Coleman's goof-ball son-in-law on the NBC series, Madman of the People (1994). Some of his feature credits include supporting and leading roles in such films as Vol d'enfer (1985), Alone Yet Not Alone (2013) (which was briefly nominated for an Oscar for "Best Original Song") and Bienvenue à Suburbicon (2017) directed by George Clooney and starring Matt Damon and Julianne Moore. He has also performed in over 190 television commercials.

Robert's chameleon-like acting abilities have afforded him the opportunity to play a very diverse range of roles - from intense drama to wild comedy and everything in between. He is a master of accents - both foreign and domestic.

He is a graduate of Pacific Palisades High School (Pacific Palisades, California) and is also a graduate (with honors) of the University of Tennessee where he played tennis on a full, four-year athletic scholarship. Robert played tennis professionally in tournaments all over the world, competing against such top level players as Jimmy Connors, Harold Solomon and Raul Ramirez. In senior tennis, he was ranked #1 in Southern California and 7th in the US.

His music education includes four years of organ instruction and two years of vocal training in New York and Los Angeles. He also plays piano.

His avocations (besides tennis) include reading, computers, free diving, fishing and screen writing. He co-wrote "The Climb," starring Dabney Coleman, Jason George and Ned Vaughn. After a brief theatrical run, it aired nationally as a movie-of-the-week and ended up winning first prize as "Best Feature Drama" at the International Family Film Festival.
