“He was especially kind and gentle with the animals on set, which goes a long way in my books.”
The actress, who plays Amy Fleming, continued, “Robert, I am so thankful I was able to get to know you and work alongside you.
“You left us far too soon, but I promise you will always be remembered. #RIP.”
