Tim Robbins (born West Covina, California, 16 October 1958) is primarily (in fact, almost exclusively) known as a movie actor (Andy Dufresne in The Shawshank Redemption, Oliver Lang in Arlington Road, Dave Boyle in Mystic River) and producer/director (DeadMan Walking). He is, however, also a musician. He plays the guitar, has written songs for several decades, performs live every once in a while and has undertaken projects with musicians such as Pete Seeger, but did not release an album... yet.
