About Robert

Robert was just about 10 years old when he saw Montgomery Clift in the movie “From Here to Eternity”. Clift made a great impression on him with his portrayal of Pvt. Robert E. Lee Prewitt. Robert felt himself close to the character. Clift's character Prewitt was a loner who had his principles and wouldn't betray them. Clift impressed him so much, he tried to adapt these characteristics for himself.
The 1968 film version of Romeo and Juliet also played its part in Robert Beltran's wish to dedicate himself to acting, and in 1979 he played the role of Tybalt in Romeo and Juliet as a freshman at the Bakersfield College. (1) 
Robert says these were probably the two most important moments in developing the desire to become an actor.
His career started on stage and even though he has made countless appearances in films and TV series, he created a monument to himself with the character of Commander Chakotay in Star Trek Voyager. Robert remains a stage actor and continues to work passionately there as an actor, director and teacher.
