- Toward the end of the Korean Campaign he joined the Navy and served for nearly four years, from the beginning of 1954 until mid 1957, and was honorably discharged. He the attended San Diego State College.
- He is noted for extensive work in Spaghetti Westerns and in the European film industry in the 1960s and 1970s.
- Robert Woods went to Hollywood in 1962, and then to New York. He studied acting in New York with Boris Marshalov and worked briefly at the famed 'Circle In The Square', before traveling to Paris in 1963, to work in 'The American Theater', on the Quay D'Orsey.
- He began the stage of his western career in 1964, starring in a film entitled, "Five Thousand Dollars on the Ace". It was the first 'Western' done at the newly constructed 'Balcazar Studios' in Barcelona and though it was not the first to be done in Europe... It was the first ever 'EuroWestern' to be sold to the illusive American market (MGM- 1964). "Five Thousand Dollars on the Ace" historically became the unheralded grandfather of the genre, currently known as the 'Spaghetti Western'.
- At the end of 2013 the famed Almeria Annual Western Film Festival brought him to Spain to honor him for his body of work.
- Because of my height, I did most of my own stunts. Only once, doing a lead in Hong Kong on a film called "Savage in the City" with Victor Buono, did I seriously injure myself. John Shadow, the director, asked me to jump from a wall. It was twelve feet, and the surface I had to land on was concrete. I fractured my ankles, but somehow managed to finish the film. It took roughly two years to recover, and I don't and won't do that anymore.
