Robert Asencio is a proud artist from New Jersey with a bachelor's degree in Theatre from Kean University. The greatest lesson acting has taught him is the importance of self-reflecting on one's own experiences in order to bring characters to life with truthfulness and empathy. Robert is grateful to have honed his skills performing on New York City and New Jersey stages throughout his career.  

 

Most recently, Robert appeared on Max Original limited series "Full Circle" from Academy Award-Winning Director Steven Soderbergh. He has also worked on the Original television drama “Dear Edward,” from Emmy Award-winning creator Jason Katims on Apple TV+ and the feature film "These Days" which recently won awards at the Hamptons International Film Festival and Chelsea Film Festival.

 

In addition to being an actor, Robert is a dedicated musician, visual artist, photographer, poet, and filmmaker whose award-winning film "KNIGHT" received many festival selections in the tri-state area including an official selection at the Garden State Film Festival and the "New Jersey Honorary Achievement Award in the Art of Filmmaking" at The Brightside Tavern Film Festival in Jersey City.

 

His continued study of the arts has fed his artistic life with an everlasting joy that he is very grateful to have found. Ultimately, he believes that all artists must strive to build a deep personal relationship with their art forms.
