ROBERT PIKE-DANIEL

Worked as a journalist at The Star, Johannesburg, and at the BBC in London (World Service and Newsnight). Then studied at the NFTS (National Film & Television School) near London. After graduation, moved to the US where, through a co-incidence, I ended up on stage (did drama as a kid) and then in front of camera in Los Angeles. Incidentally, I got to meet Shelley Berman whose material I used to get me into the finals of several DHS talent contests - I mentioned this to Shelley and he fired back: "Did you pay the license fee?" I gulped...then he slapped my arm and said: "Take it easy - just kidding!" Recent career high-points include playing golfing legend, Old Tom Morris, in three years of TV commercials for Golf Now in the USA, and working on the Coen brothers' new movie HAIL, CAESAR! (due for release in 2016), playing Catholic priest, Monsignor O'Reilly...my Irish look has had me playing quite a few priests! All my film and TV work is listed on the International Movie Database at http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0199717/
