Robert Lyle Knepper is an American actor.
History
Knepper was born in Fremont, Ohio, but was raised in Maumee. Both of his parents worked as veterinarians. During his childhood, Knepper became interested in acting as his mother was involved at a local community theater. He soon spent most of his youth working in the local community theater and also the high-school productions. Graduating from Maumee High School in 1977, he then attended Northwestern University to study drama. During this time, Knepper also started starring in Chicago plays. Nearing the completion of his degree, Knepper dropped out of Northwestern University and moved to New York City. There, he continued to work in the theater business. Although he never made any plans to work in film and television projects, Knepper began his television and film career in 1986 with The Paper Chase and That's Life!. On August 26, 2011, Knepper and three others were all honored by the Maumee Alumni Association during an awards dinner and also at the opening Maumee High School varsity football game. He eventually married one Tori and had a son named Benjamin with her.
In 2017, Knepper was accused of sexual misconduct. This doesn't appear to have been proven through two investigations.
On Criminal Minds
Knepper portrayed schizophrenic budding serial killer and abductor Rhett Walden in the Season Six episode "Reflection of Desire".
