A conversation with actor Robert Redford at Brown

PROVIDENCE -- Sure, actor, director and conservationist Robert Redford will be in town to pick up an honorary Brown University degree this weekend.

But he'll also hold a conversation that's open to the public on the university's Lincoln Field.

A 30-minute conversation with Redford, who starred in such films as All The President's Men , is slated for 12:30 p.m. Saturday at the Lincoln field tent.

The conversation is scheduled on a day of forums -- free and open to the public on a space-available basis -- given by various people on topics.

"Every great actor is called upon to play many parts, to reimagine himself again and again, and to communicate in every role new possibilities and an openness to the unknown," says a university description of the talk titled "A Tempered Radical: A Conversation with Robert Redford."

"Robert Redford has applied this principle of reinvention and creative dialogue across political divides and artistic disciplines. Actor, director, producer, and environmental activist, Redford will talk about his recent projects and plans for the future, the art of politics, and the politics of art."
