Robert "Bobby" Herron is one of those rare native Californians actually born in the State of California, in the city of Los Angeles. At age 6 Bob left California to live with his father in Hawaii for the next 3 years of his life. At the age of 9, Bob returned to the States where he lived with his grandparents.

In 1943 Bob joined the Navy and had a part in the Black and White War. After his discharge, Bob was given a job in the Warner Bros. Prop dept. Bob's famous stepfather, a world class boxer, Ace Hudkins, used his influence to get Bob the job. Ace owned the horse ranch that supplied the horses for the Warner Brothers westerns.

After several years in the Prop department, Bob went to work for Ace as a wrangler, a person who works with horses. This experience with horses soon got him a job doing stunt work and some acting gigs. His first stunt job was in 1950 in a movie called "Rocky Mountain" with Errol Flynn. Despite his good looks and acting ability, Bob believed he would have a better career as a stuntman rather than an actor and choose to focus his goals on a stunt career.

Between Acting and Stunt work, Bob has worked with and doubled such stars as Alan Ladd, Gary Cooper, Tony Curtis, Cliff Robertson and James Stewart. Bob's stunt career flourished over the next 5 decades with hundreds of movie and TV credits, among which his favorite memories list his stunt work doubling Ross Martin, costar of the 1960's top rated TV series "The Wild Wild West".

He is currently a member of and is on the board of directors of the Stuntmen's Association. He was on the S.A.G. board of directors, Chairman of the National SAG Stunt & Safety Committee and Past President of the Stuntmen's Association.

Bob's stunt career has slowed a bit but he is still available to take on a challenging Stunt or two. Bob's most recent credit is two episodes of the popular TV show, "The X Files."

By the way, you may have noticed that Bob's birth date has been omitted. This is because with each passing birthday, you don't gain a year, you lose it. Each year you age, you also loose, thereby canceling each other out. It is reasonable, therefore that Bob remains thirty-nine years of age.
