| Biography: | Roberto Lombardi was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA) and began his career at an early age, appearing on the "Gene London Show" (1959) at age 7, then began music lessons (drums) and showed a natural ability for music. Quickly moving on to other instruments (bass) in order to learn how to not only play, but write his own songs, later taking voice lessons to handle lead vocals. At age 16, an interest in acting also surfaced and he found roles in theater both in school and in regional theater, eventually landing extra / featured roles in several major motion pictures. At this point music became the focus. He wrote, recorded and toured nationally with several bands, most notably 'April Fool', 'The End', 'The Facts', 'The Rage' and 'Road Trip' learning to play both keyboards and guitar in the process. In 2004, Lombardi again became focused on acting, signed with several talent agencies and began modeling while taking acting classes. Since then he has appeared in many films, television shows and commercials in a variety of roles in films such as The Happening (2008), Bazookas: The Movie (2009), It Wasn't for Love (2008) and Methodic (2007). Recently he has moved behind the camera as well as in front with actor and Assistant Director credits for Abduction (2009) and Johnny Blue (2011) as well as actor and Associate Producer credit for Extinction (2012). He has also been credited for Casting, Location Scout and Script Supervisor as well as doing Special FX Makeup and contributing music to Film Soundtracks. His production company 'RTL Productions Record & Filmworks, LLC' focuses on the development, publicity and production of new film projects such as Just Like Me (2009) and 'vOosHa dAy' (2011), both of which he is producing and casting as well as acting in as well as the release of past and future music projects and licensing music for film soundtracks.
