Robert Gottschall (September 15, 1915 – January 3, 2005), sometimes credited in films by the stage name Bob Shaw or Robert Shaw, was an American actor.
Gottschall performed with the Dallas Little School of Theatre in 1936 and attracted a talent scout's attention after one semester.[1]
Gottschall enlisted in the United States Army during World War II and served five years. He later re-enlisted and served in the military until 1963.[2]
When he died, just weeks after his wife of over 62 years, Mary Sue Mills, he was buried at the Fort Sam Houston National Cemetery in San Antonio, Texas.[3]
