Caribbean Heritage and the Power of Representation | Ft. Robert Christopher Riley

This week, we are talking di tings with Actor and Producer, Robert Christopher Riley.

Known for his dynamic presence on Broadway, television, and film, Rob shares his journey from his childhood in Brooklyn to a celebrated actor carrying the rich legacies of his Trinidadian and Bajan heritage. From Broadway to television, Rob continues to carry his Caribbean roots into every role, and in every story he tells.

In this episode, we explore the intersections of Caribbean culture, identity, and artistry; and how these elements have shaped his career and personal life. Rob discusses his transformative role as Michael Culhane on "Dynasty," which brought him international recognition, and his current role as Javon on "Divorced Sistas," showcasing his versatility as an actor. With humor and authenticity, he speaks about his unconventional journey into acting (credting his professor & mentor, a Jamaican woman, for seeing his talent), some of his favourite Soca artistes, the importance of cultural representation in television and film, the wisdom he's gained throughout his life, thus far, advice for persons interested in being an actor, and so much more!

Whether you're an aspiring actor, a lover of compelling stories, or someone in the Caribbean diaspora looking for inspiration; this episode is for you. So grab your tea, coffee, or a glass of wine, and let's talk di tings!
