Tim
Robbins is an Oscar winning actor and director who shares his longtime companion,
Susan Sarandon's, off-screen passion for a better world. He has been a vocal champion
of the anti-globalization movement and the antiwar movement. When a 15th Anniversary
celebration of the movie Bull Durham was canceled at the National Baseball
Hall of Fame because of his public stance against the invasion of Iraq in 2003,
many were outraged, but the incident clearly pointed out the career-threatening
challenges celebrities often face when they speak out against the status quo for
change for a better world.
