In 1999, he was sentenced to spend three years behind bars, but was released after having served a year.
It was the famous Australian-American actor Mel Gibson who helped Robert resurrect his career, as he paid his insurance bond to have Robert star in the 2003 musical crime comedy movie “The Singing Detective”.
