Actor to host Minnesota snowbirds

When Rob Steinberg flew through a windshield during a car accident in New York, it was a life-changing experience. He figured if he could survive that, he could sure risk a move to Los Angeles to pursue acting.

He did, and has been winning small parts ever since, most recently  a pivotal role in the critically acclaimed "12 Years A Slave," presently in neighborhood theaters. You may have seen him years ago in "Diehard II," or recently as a talent manager in "Grace Unplugged." He's appeared on numerous TV shows over the years and does voiceover work as well.

Rob is currently writing and developing a romantic comedy set in New Orleans about a hard drinking woman blues singer who falls for a recently divorced, overly sensitive, male college professor called "Tell It Like It Is."  Also under the pen… or the keyboard . . . is a book of bizarre personal vignettes called "It's Okay, I'm With the Band."  A one-man stage production of the book will follow.

Four years ago Rob bought a house in New Orleans near Audubon Park, not far from where he earned his degree at Tulane University back in the 70s.
We'll be staying at Rob's newly-renovated house for our two-month winter rental this year, and he promises to sprinkle some show-biz glitter on our stay. Among other things, we hope to see the plantation where "12 Years" was shot; the Brad Pitt movie was pretty much done on location there.
We've looked over his place on the internet, located three blocks from the park, a zoo, an aviary and a vintage 18-hole public golf course, set in an oak-lined crook of the Mississippi River. We'll ride the St. Charles street car past the mansions to downtown; there's a national World War II and D-Day museum there. . . and a casino. . . and all the well-known New Orleans tourist hoopla, food and entertainment.
We'll head south right after the Christmas holidays for the warmer climate, and at two below zero today, it can't come soon enough.
