Robert Mangiardi is a New York actor who came from a family of 9 children. His father was a prominent NY heart surgeon and, although many of his siblings pursued the medical field, Robert did not. His first acting venture was in a high school play The Apple Tree, a musical where he played Adam and he admits he did it to meet the leading lady Janet Murphy who later went on to become Vice President of casting for ABC TV in New York. The play was directed by Peter Strain who went on to become a prominent talent agency on both coasts.
He did not attempt to act again until he came to Los Angeles in his mid-thirties and attended an acting class by famed Hollywood director Daniel Mann. Daniel could be brutal was his comments to his actors but the very first scene Robert put up was greeted by such a complimentary response that the actor cried on the spot-he had finally found his calling. His very first role was a recalling role on the famed CBS series Wiseguy which starred the late Ray Sharkey and Ken Whal. The show was a precursor for the likes of The Sopranos and was hailed by critics as one of the "Top 100 TV Shows Ever'. Guest star roles on shows such as Murder She Wrote, Midnight Caller and Jake and the Fat Man, to name a few quickly followed.

She is the Ocean to Make US Premiere
at 14th Annual LA Femme Film Festival
WATCH the trailer!
A Documentary about Great Women at a Festival Highlighting Exceptional Women From Innesse Blohina, the acclaimed director of the award winning documentary about surfing ON THE WAVE (with Kelly Slater), comes her second film which examines nine extraordinary women from the four corners of the globe who share one thing in common: a profound love for the Sea. A love so profound that they have chosen to make the Ocean the center of their physical, philosophical and professional lives. SHE IS THE OCEAN will screen on Saturday, October 13that 6PM, at Regal Cinema at LA Live, 1000 W. Olympic Blvd., Los Angeles.
In a unique documentary concept, the director has selected these women, ranging from the ages of twelve to eighty three, in order to create a portrait of what could be a metaphor for one woman’s Ocean life through all her ages.
Starting with three women who engage in the thrill of ocean sports, to a famed scientist who plunges into the deepest depths on the edge of human survival, to a cliff diver who is hailed as “The bravest woman in Germany”, She is the Oceancaptures the common thread that bonds them together. Both how it has formed their lives and given them meaning beyond the normal constraints of society.
Mankind has always referred to the Ocean as a She.
Even the boats that sail upon her waters are considered to possess female energy. Could this be mankind’s greatest homage to the female gender? That these Oceans of ours, which contain the most powerful forces on the planet, the most boundless mysteries, the progenitor of all life on earth, the vessel of our planet’s most infinite and valuable bounty, will forever be related to the same noble attributes of a woman? The attributes of mystery and power which has kept mankind enthralled from time immemorial?
She is the Ocean will explore these thoughts and more. And, in the very words of the women who lead these extraordinary lives, seeks to discover the answers.
