[edit] Inappropriate category
He has said that he is not a socialist, so why is he included in the category? Even if he was, there is no mention in the article of such an affiliation. This is really inappropriate. Treybien 1:37 20 February 2007 (UTC)
Strong "reformist" views. Are you kidding me? Try "left wing."
IS he the same Tim Robbins who wrote the play Embedded? -FZ 12:35, 21 Sep 2004 (UTC)
The original writer showed POV when saying that Robbins' views were "socialist", even though Robbins claimed otherwise. Does the original poster have any evidence that Robbins is a socialist?
"Left-wing" is much more appropriate.
- Is it fair to call his views "extreme"? I don't think that his views are anymore "extreme", than, say, Ralph Nader's.
- I'm changing it to "strong", which is much more appropriate.
"...strong progressive political views" seems fair to me. I think people know what is meant by progressive whether they think that's a good or a bad thing. "Extreme" is pretty much a slur when it comes to labelling people's politics. sjc
The way the encounter with Lloyd Grove is presented seems a little inappropriate to me, especially if Grove himself is the only source. sjc

A good photo would liven this page up a bit, no? There's gotta be someone who has a picture they can put on WP... Zafiroblue05
I dont know weather its worth putting because its just a cameo but Tim Robbins appears in Anhor man: the Legend of Ron Burgandy. is that worth putting in the list of films hes in?
Tim Robbins is not a liberalist, Bush is a liberalist for christ's sake. Tim Robbins hates Bush.
[edit] Vandalism by the friends of an "Antlantic Monthly" editor
For context on the passage removed here, see this interview about Wikipedia in The Atlantic Monthly, where the interviewer says:
- I have friends who go around making subtle changes to obscure entries as an in-joke with each other. For instance, they went into an entry about the actor Tim Robbins and wrote that his crowning achievement was the 1985 B-movie Fraternity Vacation.

[edit] Catholicism
Might want to add somewhere that he was raised Catholic. -- Mattbrundage 15:23, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
