Robert Wuhl

Robert Wuhl is one of those faces you know long before you place the name. Born in New Jersey in 1951, he built a career as a writer, comedian and actor, and I always associate him with sharp supporting work, the reporter Alexander Knox in Tim Burton's Batman and Larry in Bull Durham. But the part I respect most is that he wasn't just a hired hand on camera. He created and starred in the HBO comedy Arliss across six seasons and holds a Primetime Emmy for variety writing. That writer's instinct is what separates a working actor from someone shaping his own material, and Wuhl clearly chose the harder road.
