Hall: We Had The Day Of Our Lives

Robert David Hall (Dr Al Robbins) enjoyed his recent visit to Washington, DC, but he's looking forward to getting back to work on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.

As CSI Files previously reported, Hall headed to the nation's capital to celebrate the 19th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Hall is a double amputee, and he is a tireless advocate for fellow disabled actors. "I was asked to speak to some disabled artists at the Kennedy Center," Hall told the National Ledger. "I worked the night before, caught the red-eye -- my wife went with me -- and we had the day of our lives in Washington."

During President Barack Obama's speech, "We were seated in the first row and there were all these senators and Cabinet people and it really was overwhelming and awe inspiring," Hall added. When the president went to the podium to give his speech, "he looked down at me and mouthed the words 'CSI.' I don't know that he watches the show, but it was nice."

Hall is grateful to go back to work on CSI's tenth season now that the summer hiatus is over. "It's a tough time," the actor admitted, especially for fellow actors with disabilities. "All my brother and sister actors are struggling. I love working on the show, but I'd like to see other people working as well."
