Actor Bob DeSimone was born on April 15, 1946 in Boston, Massachusetts. Bob has done small parts in two movies for his director brother Tom DeSimone: he's a cab driver in the outrageously bawdy "Chatterbox" and a porno director in "Angel III: The Final Chapter." Moreover, DeSimone has appeared in a couple of films for director Danny Steinmann: he had a funny bit as wimpy high school teacher Mr. Meeker in the splendidly sleazy "Savage Streets" and almost stole the whole show with his hilarious portrayal of sleazy coke-snorting medic Billy in "Friday the 13: A New Beginning." DeSimone is married and has two daughters. He owns his own business and lives in Santa Rosa Valley in California. Moreover, Bob DeSimone plays in the R&B, blues, rock and jazz fusion band Midnight Ruckus. Show less «

My brother, Tom DeSimone, being a director -- he made "Hell Night" and "Reform School Girls" -- he put me in a few of his movies. Small bit parts, nothing much. That's how I met Danny Steinmann. I played the teacher in "Savage Streets" and then Danny grabbed me real quick. He told me, 'I would like to get my own group of actors that I can always count on.' At the time, there was a whole segment of us actors and filmmakers. We were in Hollywood, but still kind of outside. I can only relate it to the music industry. When you're just starting out, you'll play a wedding or a wake. Anything, just to play. It is not that we wanted to be in those B or even C movies, it was just a chance to get near someone and get a credit. And I think we all knew that, once you're into a Part 3, 4 or 5, that whether it was a "Friday the 13" or anything else, it already had its own niche and that's where it was gonna stay. It was not going to take off and be another "Exorcist" or whatever. All you hoped for back then was a piece of film that you could put on your reel. I think it was the same thing with directors. I don't think Danny wanted to be a B-movie horror director. I know my brother didn't. But he did what they gave him. Show less «
