Robert Kerbeck spent much of his career lying to get information from one major company or Wall Street firm and selling it to another - all while trying to build a career as an actor. He recently wrote a memoir about his journey called “RUSE: Lying The American Dream From Hollywood To Wall Street”, which is in the process of being made into a TV series.
