Voyage LA interview with Bob Turton
“Above all else I’m an actor. Film, TV, Theater, and Commercial. I’ve been at it for almost 20 years now, 12 years in Los Angeles. The foundation of all of my work is in the theater. I feel fortunate that that that foundation was laid in Chicago. Los Angeles has a wonderful and vibrant theater scene, but I’m proud to call myself a Chicago actor at my core. There is a commitment to the art in that city that was so exciting to be around when I was first working professionally. When I came to LA, it was a natural progression to The Actors’ Gang. The Gang is an ensemble company founded with a lot of the same principles and commitment of many Chicago companies I admired in my 20’s. While I find film, television, commercial work extremely rewarding both creatively and financially, the theater feeds my soul. A friend of mine recently posted something on Instagram that said “Film makes you famous, television makes you rich, theater makes you good.” That resonated with me.”
