Robert Lawrence McMurrer was born on June 1, 1981 in Indianapolis,
Indiana as Bobby William Shelton and had a hard life from day one. He
was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around his neck almost
chocking him to death. When Robert was two years old his parents got a
divorce and Robert was sent to live with his biological father who was
William Claude Shelton in Alabama. From the age of two years old to the
age of eight years old, Robert was sexually, mentally and physically
abused by his biological father who was arrested when Robert was eight
years old. Robert was sent to live with his mother who was Dawn Marie
McMurrer and adopted step father who was David Lawrence McMurrer in
Indianapolis, IN. After he moved that is when they changed his name to
Robert Lawrence McMurrer. He was an outcast at school and had several
jobs. Starting as a busser at a place called MCL Cafeteria for a year
then he was a seventeen years old warehouse worker at a juice company
called Pure Beverage Company for a year but, his job at Blockbuster
Videos in Indianapolis, IN is where he fell in love with the movies and
wanted to become an actor. Robert was part of the class of 2000 and
because everyone was making a deal about the class of 2000 his school
was able to get a music artist to perform at that school. The music
artist they got was Vitamin C who is now known as Colleen Ann
Fitzpatrick. Robert first background acting job which in the
entertainment industry is also known as extra work was in Indiana on a
commercial for a cell phone which he worked on with his adopted father
David Lawrence McMurrer and younger half brother Brian David McMurrer.
When the Dalai Lama visited Indiana in 2000, Robert went to see him
with his adopted step father David Lawrence McMurrer and half brother
Brian David McMurrer. Robert will never forget how he felt seeing a man
who can have power over a large number of people and do so much good in
the world. Robert then joined Job Corp and became a CNA (Certified
Nursing Assistant) but, after a little over six months he felt
something was missing and left Indiana. Robert spent a few years homeless on
the road in Arizona and California.
