Robin Tunney was raised in a middle class Roman Catholic family in Orland Park, Chicago, by her father, who worked as a car salesman, and her mother, who was a bartender. She went to Carl Sandburg High School in Orland Park, from which she matriculated in 1990, then becoming a student at the Chicago Academy for the Arts. Soon after, she showed interests in acting, so she moved from Chicago to Los Angeles, California when she was 19 years old, and there she began pursuing her professional acting career.

Robin made her debut appearance in the CBS Schoolbreak Special in an episode of “But He Loves Me” in 1991. Her next appearance was in the TV series “Life Goes On”, and in the same year she featured in the film made for television “Frogs!”, which also added to her net worth. Little by little she began to acquire more recognizable roles, including the ones in TV series “Class of ’96” (1993), and “Cutters” (1993), and films “Encino Man” (1992), with Brendan Fraser and Sean Austin, “Niagara, Niagara” (1997), in a lead role alongside Henry Thomas. Before the end of the 1990s, Robin also appeared in “Julian Po” (1997), with Christian Slater, “Montana” (1998), with Stanley Tucci and Kyra Sedgwick, and “End Of Days” (1999), alongside Arnold Schwarzenegger.

With the beginning of the 2000s, her career reached a whole new level, appearing in high profile films such as “Vertical Limit” (2000), “Cherish” (2002) “The Zodiac” (2005), “The Darwin Awards” (2006), “Open Window”, and “Hollywoodland” (2006) with Adrien Brody, Diane Lane, and Ben Affleck.
In 2008 she was selected for the role of Teresa Lisbon in the popular TV series “The Mentalist” (2008-2015), which increased her net worth by a large margin, as one of the leads alongside Simon Baker and Tim Kang.
To speak further of her accomplishments in the entertainment industry as an actress, Robin also featured in the films “The Burning Plan” (2008), “See Girl Run” (2012), and most recently “Courage” (2015), which also added to her net worth.

1I gotta tell you, I like to play the cards. I don't have any time anymore like I used to. When I was unemployed sometimes I would be at the casino in the middle of the day. One of my favorite moments on the The Mentalist was when we did an episode we shot at a casino in Los Angeles. The [assistant director] came up to me and said, "Wait till you see the people in there. Total degenerate gamblers. It's terrifying." And I went to sit and play some hands at lunch and I knew like five people [laughs]. It's fun. You have to be completely engaged. But it's an incredibly chauvinist game. I played in it and didn't think about the implications at the time.
2[about shaving her head for "Empire records"] I was a child model and my mom would never let me do anything I wanted like cut my hair or get my ears pierced or any of those phases. I was 21 and for the first time I did something I was dying to do. I had always wanted to do something aberrant like that. I loved having it for a while, but by the end everyone saying "Excuse me, sir" was kind of annoying. I wasn't thinking about it in terms of some sort of feminist stance. I thought that if you were going to do it, the opportunity of doing it on film was also pretty cool.
3You know, I think my attitude would have stopped me a little bit. I always had a stance like, you know, fuck Maxim. You know, I was supposed to be on the cover and my publicist set up the shoot behind my back and I was like, "There is no fucking way I am wearing my underpants on the cover of a magazine; they can go fuck themselves." Sexuality in that way and women using it has been around for forever, but it seems now with Britney Spears and Paris Hilton, it seems that now in order to be successful you need to look like you want to have sex with every guy. I don't get it.
4I was always brought up to say please and thank you and always tell the truth, and people were saying, "Oh my God, what's going to happen with your character next year [on Prison Break (2005)]?' and I wasn't allowed to say, so I felt really guilty because I was lying to all these people, including my neighbors. You know, the character had its run, and I was really happy to be part of a show that was so successful and that people loved so much, but there was really nothing else for her to do.
