Recipient of countless awards for both his on-screen
performances and his tireless political activism, Tim Robbins’ name is
synonymous with politics in Hollywood today. At the podium he is a gifted
speaker whose lectures educate and inspire listeners to make a difference in
their communities and the world at large.
In the course of his career Tim has made his mark as an actor, director and
producer, often to critical acclaim. Among the films he has been associated with
are Mystic River (for which he won an Academy Award and a Golden Globe Award for
Best Supporting Actor); Dead Man Walking (which garnered him an Oscar nomination
for Best Director); and Short Cuts (for which he won a Golden Globe Award for

But it is for his political activism that Tim hopes to make his most lasting
contribution to the world, and about which he is most excited to speak to
audiences. A longtime member of the Green Party, Tim is a prominent spokesperson
for anti-globalization and a vocal opponent of the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq.
He is renowned for the passionate commitment he brings to these and other social

love of truth, justice and country.
