Brought into the world in Anniston in 1935, Dr. Robert Lynn “Bounce” Penny won a few honors for his verse, educating and acting, remembering the Ellen Gregg Ingalls Grant for Greatness for Study hall Educating in 1974. He had been selected for that honor multiple times, as indicated by his tribute.

Penny showed up in a few creations for the Birmingham Celebration Theater; his last exhibition was in Ronald Harwood’s “The Dresser,” about an entertainer and his bureau maturing into retirement and coordinated by Beth Ensey, in 2017, said Rhonda Erbrick, director of BFT’s board.
Penny showed up in excess of 30 motion pictures and television series. He was credited as a “comrade” in the 1994 film “Forrest Gump,” and played a blundering, modest community legal counselor in “Sweet Home Alabama,” delivered in 2002.
Penny burned through thirty years as an English teacher, showing Verse and Writing at the College of Alabama at Birmingham. During his vocation as a teacher, Penny was an honor winning instructor and acclaimed writer by his own doing.
He resigned from the scholarly community in 1990, following 32 years in the study hall, and moved in the direction of his energy for performing. Penny started getting work in little piece parts in a few darling works of art.
Concerning television projects, Penny showed up on shows like Advanced education, Drop Dead Diva, Mischievous Servants and the television transformation of In the Intensity of the Evening. His latest credit was a common job on the series Still the Lord in 2016.
“Weave Penny spellbound our entire being at Birmingham Celebration Theater and put his everything into his work,” Rhonda Erbrick, director of the theater’s board, said in a proclamation. She added that Penny “is and was consistently an entertainer and a delight to be near.”
