That's why he and his wife founded the Real Play Productions when living in New York. It provides inner- city school children creative ways to deal with crisis issues and offers a diversion from bleak home lives. In many cases it kept kids away from the street and out of trouble.     He didn't ignore his career, though. He had many appearances in television and on stage before coming to Voyager.      Robbie was born in North Carolina and was, as he put it, "a corporate brat", on the move with his family for some years until they finally settled in Atlanta, Georgia, the city he calls home. After having moved there, his mother decided he need something to do. He played the Munchkin in the Wizard Of Oz. After high school, Robbie moved to New York City and enrolled at Juilliard where he spent two years studying the trade.      During that time, he played in many Broadway plays (ig- The Fantastiks), had a role in The New Twilight episode a Message from Charity and was cast as Charlie Brent in the ABC daytime soap opera All My Children.
