Robin Riker

A third-generation actress on both sides of her family, Robin was born in a trunk. Actually, she was almost born in a taxi on the Brooklyn Bridge but traffic was good that day so she made her actual debut at Beth Israel hospital in New York City.

Classically trained since the age of two, including several years with the prestigious Colorado Shakespeare Festival, Robin has since split her time between stage, film and television.
