Klein decided to pursue an acting career and joined the Yale Drama School, then in 1965 he became a new cast member of The Second City.

After spending a few years in theatre, Robert debuted on-screen in Hal Ashby’s Oscar Award-nominated movie “The Landlord” (1970) starring Beau Bridges, Lee Grant, and Diana Sands.
