Scoring appearances with the likes of Bill Cosby, director Gus Van Sant, interviews with Chris Rock, Laurence Fishburne, Samuel Jackson, and an MTV-style TV show on Germany’s Viva TV (the aptly titled "Eugene Robinson Show"), and going on to work with Lydia Lunch, Richard Kern, Marianne Faithfull, Henry Rollins and Steve Albini, the 6’1”, 235 pound Robinson, former bouncer, 1998 CAAT Heavyweight Men's Sanshou champ, 2nd place overall and 1st place divisional 2003 California Submission Fighting champ, is no stranger to confrontation. His chapter in O’Reilly’s Traveler Tales series on Death [penning a chapter on southeast Asian knife fighters], as well as his brief appearances in Feral Press' Apocalypse Culture and Susie Bright's The Best American Erotica, marks him as a dangerous and compelling read. Always.
