Who was Bob Verne?
The late American actor and musician Robert ‘Bob’ Verne was born under the zodiac sign Cancer on 14 July 1944, in Miami Beach, Florida USA. He had only two acting credits, and is perhaps remembered best for playing Oben in the 1985 fantasy comedy movie “Cavegirl”, which David Oliver Pfeil wrote and directed, and which starred Darren Young, Cynthia Thompson and Daniel Roebuck. It follows a shy student who’s been sent back in time to the Stone Age by a mysterious crystal.
Bob’s also known for being the father of Krista Vernoff, a famous American screenwriter, producer and director; Bob passed away aged 56 on 21 February 2001.
Education and early life
Bob was raised in Miami Beach by his parents about whom he avoids talking in public because he respects their privacy; it’s believed that his father was a physical worker and his mother a housewife, but this was never confirmed by Bob. It’s also believed that he was an only child as Bob never spoke about having siblings.
He attended a local high school in Miami and was into several activities while there as he played soccer, appeared in a couple of school plays and learned to play the guitar and piano.
Bob matriculated in 1962 and although he didn’t talk about his further education, it’s believed that he attended college, from which he graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in 1980.
Bob’s career
Bob never shared many details about his career as he preferred to stay away from media, but it’s known that he wrote several songs for the 1977 comedy movie “Can I Do It ‘Till I Need Glasses?”, which I. Robert Levy directed, and which starred Jeff Doucette, Vic Dunlop and Patrick Wright. It’s a compilation of several ‘short sexually suggestive skits’; the film was nominated for a 1979 Stinkers Bad Movie Award for Worst Sense of Direction.
In 1989, Bob played Lyle in the science fiction horror movie “The Immortalizer”, which Joel Bender directed, and which starred Clarke Lindsley, Chris Crone and Ron Ray; it follows a crazed scientist who’s created mutants to help implant the brains of old and wealthy people into the bodies of those young and beautiful.
