Rob Sedgwick was born into one of America’s oldest families and Manhattan royalty. His cousin, Edie Sedgwick, was Andy Warhol’s muse. His sister is Kyra Sedgwick, the actress and star of The Closer; his brother is painter Nikko Sedgwick; his brother-in-law is movie star Kevin Bacon, and his stepfather is renowned art dealer Ben Heller. So, to say Rob has struggled to stand out in a family of big personalities is a huge understatement.
And yet Sedgwick--actor, fitness trainer, ice cream shop owner, former drug dealer, recovering alcoholic and now writer--has managed to make his mark in the world in his own unique way. In his hilarious and touching memoir, Bob Goes To Jail, Rob relates his journey from lost little boy to hapless criminal to loveable rogue with such honesty and heart that you can’t help but root for him.
