Biography

Robert Gainley Abisi grew up in the idyllic New England town of Andover, Massachusetts. He spent his youth participating in every sport imaginable, excelling at baseball and basketball. When he was 14, his AAU baseball team advanced all the way to the national championship game.

Rob had always expressed an interest in art and theater, but it took an injury to his pitching arm during his senior year of high school to shift his focus. Soon, acting had surpassed athletics as his primary passion.

In 2007, Rob was accepted into James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, and he immediately immersed himself in the Theatre Arts program. During his junior year, Rob was accepted into JMU's London Theatre Program, where he was given the opportunity to learn from some of the finest actors in the world.

Using this experience as inspiration, Rob began auditioning for numerous short films. He starred in several lead roles, including the part of Biff Loman in Death of a Salesman (Reboot), an adapted version of the Arthur Miller classic. Each film provided Rob with a chance to study, explore and expand his range as an actor.

Now living full time in Los Angeles, Rob is excited to seek out new opportunities and bring his acting to a larger stage.
