Robert H. Charles (November 14, 1937 – April 1, 2002), better known as Bobby Astyr, was an American male pornographic actor during the 1970s, in what is considered the golden age of porn.
Astyr was born in New York on the November 14, 1937. He appeared in over 140 pornographic films, and in interviews with several female stars of the time, was often mentioned as the best male actor with whom they worked. He became known as the clown prince of porn because of his on-screen antics. He starred as a swashbuckling pirate aboard the 180-foot Brigantine Explorer in the 1977 porn epic "Captain Lust," directed by Bo Buchanan. He was known as a genial, professional, talented actor who could have easily made a success in the conventional theater.
In 1977, he met and fell in love with American pornographic actress Samantha Fox. During their long-term relationship, they lived in apartments in the East village next door to each other. The relationship endured until Astyr died of lung cancer in Manhattan on April 1, 2002.
