Bobb Hopkins - Actor/Writer/Producer/Director
Bobb Hopkins was born in Swampscott, Massachusetts, USA as Robert J. Hopkins. He graduated from the University of New Hampshire with a BS in Math. He eventually moved to Hollywood, started out as an aspiring actor, studied with renowned teacher, Lee Strasberg, and went on to perform in many TV shows, movies, and commercials. He is also a producer/director/writer with numerous credits, including Rail Kings (2002), 3 Below (2005), and The 13th Alley (2008). Previous to his entertainment career, he was an All-Conference Quarterback and Team Captain at UNH. Upon graduation, he signed free-agent contracts with the Chicago Bears and New York Jets, but his NFL career was cut short by an injury. Additionally, after producing a documentary for PBS-TV, The Great American Hobo (1980), he founded the National Hobo Association in 1987 to benefit hoboes nationwide and preserve the time honored traditions and contributions of the iconic freight hopping hobo since the Civil War. In 1996, he produced a sequel and more informative documentary, The American Hobo: The Railriding Worker, which was narrated by Academy Award Winner Ernest Borgnine and featured interviews with Pulitzer Prize Winner James A. Michener and Country Music Legend Merle Haggard. He and his production company, Super Chief Films, are developing a fantasy-fiction TV series set on St. Lucia Island in the eastern Caribbean Sea
