ROBBY'S BEAUTIFUL FAMILY

Robby's kids sure inherited his talents. Lyric is a singer like her parents, and Zephyr has Robby's acting genes. He is also a writer, producer, and director. During his early 20s, he made his writing debut with his movie "Straight Outta Tompkins."

The movie tells the story of the teenage lifestyle in New York. Zephyr starred as Gene Silverstein, a normal young student who got involved with bad company and was introduced to drugs.

In an interview, while talking about the inspiration behind "Straight Outta Tompkins," the young producer opened up about being involved in drugs as a teenager. Zephyr explained that it was easy for kids living in New York to get mixed up in drugs.

Zephyr, 29, noted that he wanted to show the world how easy it was for teenagers to make wrong decisions. When asked what fueled his interests in producing, the young actor said his experience with Robby and actor Armie Hammer on the production of "Billy" caught his interest.

However, Zephyr isn't the only one of Robby's kids who has made headlines for his works. His sister Lyric is also a fan favorite, and her music has been top of the news several times. Born in 1983 in the USA, Lyric is also an actress best known for her role in "Modern Love."

Her album "Lyric's Love Light Revolution" rocked the world, and fans couldn't get over it. The album consists of melodious pieces as "In the Valley of My Soul," "My Heart is the Sun," and "Devi."

Lyric is also a poet. Her mystic poetry book "French Kissing God: A Journey to Enlightenment" is about spirituality. The book focuses on creating more knowledge for spiritual speakers of any religion. It also preaches peace and love.

Like Robby, Lyric has many layers. Amongst other things, she is a researcher and journalist. She found her name in NYU's history book after being the first member placed in senior screenwriting after freshman year.
