Born in Brooklyn, N.Y., Rob has performed in events since childhood, such as "Mr. Bojangles", singing in the choir, small films, plays and just plain entertaining his whole family at reunions. He made his acting debut, on "Tru TV", as "Tank" on _"Southern Fried Stings" , due to his grandmother's method of learning, which consisted of memorizing 300 words, spelling and meaning before he could go play during the summer, he hated it then but states it did pay dividends in the future, thanks, Grandma. His rapping ability has led him to performing on BET's 106&Park television show and being the opening act for the BET Comics, winning several cash prizes, recording contracts as well as opportunities to be featured on several compilation albums. He realized that his greatest passion is for acting and was absolutely intrigued by the horror genre and stated that it has been this way since childhood, which is why many of his films that he has starred in are horror films. He would fit well into this genre with his large muscular frame honed on the gridirons of the football field, where being aggressive is a good thing and his aggressive nature, along with growing up in the projects in Brooklyn allows him to easily perform the role of the bad guy his personal favorite character to portray!!! He also, not always by choice, memorized anything that he sees or hears, which he feel is a great asset to being an actor. While performing due to his "Private Benjamin" behavior/impressions of others, he was asked to perform skits for Majors and Colonels alike, so even when he was bad, he was good and got to hone his skills. He has always loved to entertain others in some type of capacity, so for him getting paid to do so is just icing on the cake. Professionally, he was a youth counselor in which each day working with children is different when you are dealing with a myriad of personalities, but he enjoyed the challenge of helping today's youth, it helps a lot in this field whenever a child that he might work with recognizes him from TV or he can show them some of my talents as an ice-breaker, in order to gain their trust allowing him to help them. He was well-trained and certified to work in this field, he believes that what he did as a professional, combined with his talent, will allow him to be even more successful in the entertainment business. When relaxing he likes to play video games, watch movies and spend time with family.
