    Robert Blake was still awash in placental fluid when he first debuted in Hollywood. You can bet he has been to the bottom and back of the industry’s cesspool more than once. One can only imagine his treatment at the hands of executives, family and industry “professionals” as a child and youth-considering what people are just barely willing to reveal now, 80 years later.

    Robert Blake has led an amazing and very tough and VERY tragic life. but he still managed to pull it off, upwards toward 85 now. amazing. not a "nice guy", ... but authentically angry and doing his best in spite of it all.
    a real performer for sure. a crazy maverick and mostly unpredictable.

    I love Mr Blake for his honesty. To many people live in a bubble of positive words such as what a great day,everything is good ect and that has its place but not to the point when you don’t know what a great day is anymore. I met Robert and I feel very similar. I’m working on enduring the bullshit of society and there is plenty of it. Because I just get stressed out and then I feel worse. But I’m no robot I’m a human being and this world is insane. So fuck it I’m going to be myself and do my own thing.

    Blake is hands down the most intense actor ever to be in film. Catch the end of a film about Jimmy Hoffa called Blood Feud. The phone booth scene where he talks to Bobby Kennedy. No one but Blake could do that. He's just one of the best actors period.

    He and Klaus Kinski...they are angry, not happy people but creative, fun to watch, great actors. Its not a popularity contest and we know that but they, Klaus and Robert, dont want to compromise "our" authentic selves by trying to be pleasing to others. Perhaps they hope to die on that hill, so that others may be free of...posing, posturing.
    I certainly do not like aire's of importance just because I meet incredibly powerful people and...they dont have such aires!
    Furthermore, in my experience, people who DO have such aire's often abuse others, because "they can"...you aren't as important as they are so you dont really matter, you see.
    Blake, and Kinski, may have had enough of those people. They sense their own narcissism, hold it back, and then see it in others and rage against it, and you see, that absorbs a great deal of social energy, so manners, restraint, may get suspended as they make a point to die on that hill.

      @@g1722uyt He may thank his fans as a whole, but he never replies to anyone individually. I'm more than just a casual fan; I've made repeated attempts to interview him professionally... with no response. I've even tried to make him aware of these kind remarks which Lynch has made about him. But it's like talking to a wall. Does Blake truly read his fans' messages? He claims in one video that a friend reads them to him. I haven't even been able to find out if Blake has a specific representative who people are supposed to send their requests to. When Blake appeared on Dr. Phil, several years ago, he made it sound like he wanted to return to acting... but I now get the impression that he isn't serious about it. I'm glad he's been hanging in there, but I'm frustrated that there doesn't seem to be any clear way to reach him. Sure, he has good reasons for wanting to maintain his privacy, considering how many abusive threats he's probably gotten, but how will he ever know when a professional is trying to reach him with a legitimate proposal?
