Bobby Sylvia, as the widowed Captain von Trapp, made the role his own in the 25th Anniversary of New Bedford Festival Theatre's recent production of The Sound of Music. But beneath his character's regimented demeanor is this actors source of creativity, craziness, deep seated wisdom and individuality.

Bobby's life has been filled with "those moments" that is the stuff movies are made of. In fact, several years ago there was a film contest where filmmakers created three-minute movies based on a particular subject. You'll learn, in our conversation, how his video was noticed by the producer of the film Bend It Like Bekham, and where the video led to.

This eclectic actor is understanding of life, compassionate and intelligent. His story is truly remarkable. He is a star, but unlike most stars that just reflect light, Bobby Sylvia radiates his light from within that shines on us and makes this a better world. Enjoy the conversation!
