Robert Stanton is an American actor with an impressive resume in theater, film, and television. He was born on March 8, 1963, in San Antonio, Texas, and grew up in Midland. He attended the University of Texas at Austin, where he earned a BFA in Drama.

He played the role of the Young Collector and received critical acclaim for his performance. He went on to appear in several other Broadway productions, including "All Shook Up" (2005), "The Coast of Utopia" (2007), and "Mary Stuart" (2009).
In addition to his work on Broadway, Stanton has also appeared in numerous off-Broadway productions, including "The Common Pursuit," "The Mysteries," and "The Importance of Being Earnest." He has been a member of the prestigious Atlantic Theater Company since 1992 and has appeared in several of their productions, including "The Hothouse," "The Night Heron," and "The Cherry Orchard."
Stanton's film career began in the early 1990s with small roles in films such as "Bob Roberts" (1992) and "Quiz Show" (1994). He went on to appear in several other films, including "Mercury Rising" (1998), "The Quiet American" (2002), and "Confessions of a Shopaholic" (2009). He is perhaps best known for his role as Larry the cameraman in the hit film "The Devil Wears Prada" (2006).

He had a recurring role on the hit HBO series "Six Feet Under" as Hugo, the mortician's assistant. He also appeared in the ABC series "Castle" as Dr. Darrell Meeks.
