96 - Robert Keefe - The Vertical James Bond with the License to Create

If you don’t always get offered the roles you truly want to play,
then sometimes you simply start writing your own Vertical Scripts
— and that’s exactly what Robert Keefe decided to do.


I had the chance to sit down with the actor, writer, and producer
to talk about creativity in all its different forms.





Among other things, Robert has already been offered elder roles
before (which honestly makes absolutely no sense to me ), even
though he would much rather bring realistic and emotionally
grounded Vertical stories to life together with his friends.
That’s why last summer he decided to write his very first own
Vertical Script — and if everything goes according to plan, it
should be released before the end of the year. We’re definitely
excited to see it.





Besides writing, Robert has portrayed many different kinds of
characters and has made a strong impression both as a villain and
as the nice guy . What helps him maintain a healthy work-life
balance no matter what role he’s playing? He shares it with you
in this episode.





Robert also immediately loved my idea of funding my own Verticals
one day with a lottery win. And when I asked him whether I could
cast him in multiple projects someday — maybe even with a small
discount — he definitely didn’t say no. One of his biggest dreams
would be to shoot in Europe and ideally even play a British
character. And if all of that could happen in a James Bond-style
story? That would be the ultimate jackpot for him.





Happiness and mental balance are incredibly important to Robert,
and he truly doesn’t take many things in life for granted. ️


“Enjoy the little things in life, for one day you may look back
and realize they were the big things.”
 — Kurt Vonnegut





With that being said — enjoy today’s episode! :-)
