Robert Broski - "A. Lincoln"


Robert Broski (Abraham Lincoln) says that even though he was born and raised in Southern California, not Kentucky, he was destined to play Abe Lincoln.

Because of a desire in his heart, Robert decided to make a commitment to bring Abraham Lincoln "ALIVE" to whomever was interested in knowing more about this great President.

He has portrayed Mr. Lincoln in films, commercials, television, plays, and print work. Robert has enlightened students and adults about President Lincoln through programs at schools, churches, book fairs, and Presidential libraries. Women's groups and republican clubs have invited him to be their guest speaker. Other events include civil war reenactments, modeling for art classes, and modeling for a bronze statue.

Robert would like to thank his wife Dianne, and his children for their support and putting up with all of his "Four Scores" and such.
