Actor/Landlord Rob Steinberg in "12 Years a Slave"

A clowning Rob signed off on our final payment.
Congratulations to Rob Steinberg. He appeared in the Best Picture of the Year.
Who is Rob Steinberg? He was our landlord in New Orleans. . . and the actor who played the part of the Yankee storekeeper who eventually rescues Solomon Northrop from slavery in "12 Years a Slave." Much of the movie was shot in New Orleans, we had a look at one of the location plantations.
If you still don't recognize Rob, you could watch him on "The Young and the Restless" on March 6. He makes an appearance in that long-running soap as a divorce attorney.
Now he'll have an Oscar mentioned on his resume. We think he'll be getting a lot more work… probably need an assistant landlord.
