Biography

Subject: Robert Kenneth Shaye (Bob Shaye).
Goal: Write a 90-130 word factual identity profile.
Constraints: Use ONLY provided facts. No markdown, no headings, no bullet points, no preamble, no quotes. Neutral, encyclopedic prose.
Source Material:
Name: Robert Kenneth Shaye (also known as Bob Shaye, L.E. Moko).
Born: March 3, 1939.
Age: 87 years old (per source).
Place of Birth: Detroit, Michigan, USA.
Occupations: American businessman, film producer, director, and actor.
Known For: Production.
Known Credits: 78.
Family: Brother of actress Lin Shaye.
Robert Kenneth Shaye, also known as Bob Shaye or L.E. Moko, is an American businessman, film producer, director, and actor. Born on March 3, 1939, in Detroit, Michigan, USA, he is the brother of actress Lin Shaye. Shaye is recognized for his work in production and has 78 known credits.
Current word count: ~45 words.
Target: 90-130 words.
Problem: The source material is very sparse. To reach 90-130 words without inventing facts or using filler/fluff (which violates the "verifiable facts" and "neutral, encyclopedic prose" rule), I need to expand the presentation of the existing facts without adding new ones. However, if the facts provided don't allow for 90 words without being repetitive or "fluffy," I must prioritize accuracy and the "only verifiable facts" rule.
Wait: The prompt says "Write a 90-130 word factual identity profile". If the source material is insufficient to reach that length without violating the "no inventing/no guessing" rule, I have a conflict.
Let's re-examine the source:
Name: Robert Kenneth Shaye
Also known as: Bob Shaye, L.E. M
