- Shortly after the successful sale and release of the movie "Five Thousand Dollars on the Ace", Clint Eastwood arrived in Italy and Spain to begin filming Sergio Leone's "Fist Full Of Dollars"(1965). His break-through Spaghetti Western was also purchased by MGM and 'Europe's Golden Age Of Cinema' had officially begun. During that period, Clint became the most popular icon on the planet and Robert was blessed with the good fortune to travel all over the World to star in over fifty International features, most of them Westerns, before returning to America...
- In 2014 Robert Woods did a role in Los Angeles in a film called, "Threshold". Shortly afterward, he was flown to Italy to star in a romantic and uplifting feature entitled "Romanzo Calabrese", which was filmed in Morano Calabria and Rome. Immediately after the 'Calabrese' film was wrapped, he returned to America to do a featured role in the wonderfully cinematic, eclectic "Of Fortune and Gold , a modern Western, filmed at the Grand Canyon, The Mojave Desert and Los Angeles.
- He was placed in an orphanage, called 'The Colorado Home For Abused & Abandoned Children' by his single teen aged mother, Doris, who was unable to provide for him.
- While doing an adaptation of Chekhov's 'Seagull', in Paris, he was seen by Spanish producer Alfonso Balcazar who requested him to fly to Barcelona, Spain to do a screen test for a Western film. Robert, originally a Colorado cowboy, passed it with flying colors and subsequently signed a contract to work as a leading actor in five more Western features.
- Raised initially on a ranch near Great Divide Colorado, he was ultimately brought to Boulder, where he attended Boulder High School.
- 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.
