Robert Trebor

I'm a character actor with more than 40 years experience on stage, film and television. Two of my noteworthy roles are The Son of Sam in the film Out Of The Darkness, and Salmoneus the merchant in the Hercules and Xena TV series. Playing both a psychopath and a salesman was enormously helpful in preparing this book.

In 2012 I was diagnosed with acute leukemia. Was I surprised! After aggressive chemo I went into remission...for a short time. After I relapsed doctors told me I had a four percent chance of surviving a couple months if I couldn't remit sufficently to get to stem cell transplant. Through a series of fortunate but somewhat grueling circumstances, I got there. And I am writing this. And maybe I was spared so I could write The Haircut Who Would Be King. Maybe it will enter the political conversation and do some good.
