Robert Walason: Author, Producer, and Comeback Kid

Robert Walason has lived many lives. Author, producer, and self-described "comeback kid," the Rhode Island local sat down with the Wave to talk about his ambitious Boss Angel series, a new fitness venture, and a fitness invention that just might change the way we work out.
Fact, Fiction, and the Boss Angel
Walason's latest project is as ambitious as it is creative. The Boss Angel series—based on his three-book series of the same name—explores a compelling "what if" premise: what if a guardian angel could travel back in time to save iconic figures who died before their time?
"What if things were different?" Walason asks. "What if we could go back in time, take one individual, and repair all the wrong?"
The concept traces back to a question that has lingered with Walason since childhood—what if John F. Kennedy had never been shot? That seed of an idea eventually blossomed into the Boss Angel character: a flawed man tasked by an archangel with saving 45 people who died "undeservingly" before earning his place in heaven.
The first episode, Marilyn and the Kennedys, is already available to watch for free on Walason's Facebook page (Robert Wallace). His film Unmade—a more autobiographical work—is available on Amazon Prime Video and, by his account, still performing well.
The second episode centers on Jim Morrison, who died at 27. The Boss Angel recruits an unlikely team—including Mick Jagger and Jimi Hendrix—to save the rock legend. Coming episodes will feature Al Capone, Martin Luther King Jr., Whitney Houston, Billie Holiday, Marlon Brando, and Janis Joplin, among others. Walason is currently in talks with Netflix to pick up the series.
"Take the fact all the way to the death," Walason explains, "and that's where the fiction comes in."
Walason is careful to distinguish his storytelling from conspiracy theory. The series draws on historical records and widely discussed theories, then imagines an alternate outcome. It's a formula that has clearly resonated—both books are available on Amazon, and viewer interest in the series continues to grow.
Getting Back in Fighting Shape—Literally
When Walason isn't writing screenplays, he's boxing. At nearly 69 years old, he has taken up a unique fitness routine that blends boxing with music and performance—filming himself hitting a heavy bag to the sounds of Barry White and Teddy Pendergrass.
"I love music. R&B soul—that's my definition of myself," he says with a grin.
What began as a personal fitness challenge has quickly evolved into something bigger. Walason is now planning a subscription-based platform where fans can request songs, dedications, and even specific outfits.
"I'm going to get in shape like I'm ready to fight Tyson and Rocky Marciano at the same time," he laughs.
He's also encouraging others to pick up a punching bag and join him.
The Easy Jump: A New Fitness Invention
Perhaps the most surprising development in Walason's already eventful life is the Easy Jump—a fitness tool he co-invented with Jimmy Rosa. Similar in motion to a jump rope, the Easy Jump features two separate handles with no connecting rope, making it accessible to those who struggle with traditional jump ropes.
"Do you know how many people would jump rope if it wasn't connected? About 94% of people in the world," says Walason. "We want them all to jump."
The Easy Jump has already been accepted by the Home Shopping Network and allows users to perform a full-body workout—squats, lunges, bicep curls, and tricep extensions—all while spinning the handles. The ropes even glow in the dark.
Walason calls it "brand spanking new" and has plans to develop a full instructional guide to accompany it.
A Life That Keeps Moving Forward
With a film on Amazon, a series in development, a fitness platform in the works, and a new invention on the market, Walason shows no signs of slowing down. For someone who has spoken openly about a difficult past, his current chapter reads more like a third act than a finale.
"Everything that happens to any of us—it's God," he says simply. "It's not me."


Robert Walason's film Unmade is available on Amazon Prime Video. The first episode of Boss Angel can be viewed for free on his Facebook page, Robert Wallace. His books are available on Amazon.
