Robert was born on 18 May 1931 to May Silver, a pianist, and Charles Morse, who worked at a record store and managed a chain of movie theaters. So, he grew up attending several different schools until finding inspiration in a music teacher at Newton High School. Then, following graduation, he left home for New York City to fulfill his dream of becoming an actor. He joined his older brother Richard who, at the time, was already studying acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse.
So it began, his career, with an uncredited role in The Proud and Profane in 1956. Thereon, he was cast as Barnaby Tucker in the original Broadway production of Thornton Wilder’s The Matchmaker. This is what later on marked the launching of his career.
