This website contains the Curriculum Vitae, photographs, audio and video clips of the actor Robert G. Slade.
A 25-year veteran of the stage, Robert G. Slade has been called "...one of the finest actors the province has ever seen" (Kevin Longfield, From Fire to Flood: A History of Theatre in Manitoba). He performed with every major theatre company in Winnipeg, Canada, including Manitoba Theatre Centre, Prairie Theatre Exchange, Manitoba Theatre for Young People, Winnipeg Jewish Theatre, Theatre Projects, English Suitcase Theatre, Bear/West, The King's Players, and Hamm It Up.
As a pioneer of improvisational comedy in Winnipeg, Robert was a founding member of the legendary improv troupes Theatre X, Possible Nudity and The Smoking Dinosaurs. Robert is also a member of Shakespeare in the Ruins and the object/puppet theatre company Adhere and Deny.
Film and television roles include Cardboard Charlie in the children's show Fred Penner's Place and Scotty in the feature For the Moment, alongside Russell Crowe. Robert's facility with different accents and characters has created a huge demand for his voiceover talents, and he has consequently done numerous radio commercials.
Robert was a teacher at Prairie Theatre Exchange for 13 years and conducted workshops throughout Winnipeg.
In February 2005, Robert moved to London, England, where his career continues to flourish. He was featured in the acclaimed play The Hot Zone, which was Time Out magazine's "Critic's Choice" for two weeks' running. He also appeared in the film Casino Royale and in the BBC documentary The Wild West: Billy the Kid. In the Winter of 2007 he toured England and Wales in a leading role in Arthur Miller's play The Price. He has recently appeared as multiple characters in the computer games So Blonde and ShellShock2 and is the voice of Robert Carlyle's computer in The Final Enemy.
