Actor Robert Iler was born on March 2, 1985, in New York, NY. He started out in showbiz by doing commercials for IBM, AT&T, VH1 and ESPN. Robert has appeared in the films "Daredevil," "Tadpole" and "The Tic Code," but he is famous for the role of Tony's brat son, Anthony A.J. Soprano Jr., on the hit HBO series "The Sopranos." Robert was arrested on July 4, 2001, for robbing $40 from two Brazilian tourists and also was charged with Marijuana possession.
Known to audiences around the world as A.J. Soprano, the wayward, emotionally troubled son of mobster Tony Soprano on the famous crime family's eponymously titled blockbuster HBO series, Robert Iler actually debuted on film a year prior to that program, with a small role in the romantic drama The Tic Code (1998), directed by Gary Winick. Iler re-teamed with Winick for a supporting role in the coming-of-age sex comedy Tadpole (2002), and appeared in the Ben Affleck superhero vehicle Daredevil (2003). In a bizarre instance of art mirroring life, Iler made headlines in July 2001 for assisting in the robbery of two teenage boys on a New York City street corner. He was sentenced in May 2002 to three years' probation for petty larceny. Nathan Southern, All Movie Guide
