A fanlisting for the actor Robert Knepper

Robert

Robert Knepper, the son of a veterinarian, was born on July 8th, 1959 in Fremont, Ohio and raised in Maumee (near Toledo). When he was growing up, his mother worked in the props department for the community theater, and because of her involvement, he became interested in acting. Knepper spent many years working in community theater and high school productions. Later, he studied drama at Northwestern University from 1977 to 1981.

He made a splash in several early 80s Chicago theater productions, including Victory Gardens' Ties, as well as Class Enemy at Next Theatre and David Mamet's Lake Boat at the Goodman; he was also in a landmark production of The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby.

Knepper made his feature-film debut in Blake Edward's That's Life. Additional feature-film credits include Good Night, and Good Luck, Hostage, Woody Allen's Everyone Says I Love You, D.O.A., Love and Sex, Wild Thing, Renegades, Young Guns II, and Gas, Food, Lodging.

On television, Knepper has had recurring roles on the series Carnivàle, Thieves, Haunted and Presidio Med. He has guest-starred on series such as ER, CSI Miami, The West Wing and Getting Out. Knepper also starred in the miniseries Jackie, Ethel, Joan: The Women of Camelot.

His role as scurrilous inmate Theodore "T-Bag" Bagwell on Prison Break earned him the status of the latest villain TV audiences love — and love to hate.

Knepper's newest films include Hitman, based on the best-selling video game of the same name, and the action sequel Transporter 3, starring Jason Statham.

While he's not filming Prison Break, Knepper is residing in Los Angeles with his wife and son.
