Personal life

He was of Lebanese descent.[2] Romanus grew up Catholic.[3][4] He lived in West Hartford, Connecticut, and in 1964 graduated from Xavier University with a bachelor's in philosophy, before studying acting with Lee Strasberg at the Actors Studio in New York.[5] His younger brother Robert Romanus is also an actor. They both appeared in the MacGyver episode "The Prodigal" in 1985.[6] On May 20, 1967, he married Tina Bohlmann; they had a son before divorcing in 1980.[citation needed]

Romanus was married to Oscar-nominated costume designer Anthea Sylbert from August 1985 until his death.[7] In 2004, they moved to the Greek island of Skiathos,[8] after which he focused on writing.[9] In 2011, he published his memoirs, Act III (Aiora Press, Athens, and Armida Publications, Nicosia), and first novel, Chrysalis (Armida Publications).[10] In 2012, Act III was short-listed for the International Rubery Book Award.[citation needed]
