With over a decade of experience both on set and behind the scenes, Rob has played lead roles in more than 50 stage and screen productions across Australia and the United States, and has produced over 10 projects.

He is currently represented by Tina Contogenis at Eris Talent Agency (USA) and recently secured his second O1-B visa. His screen credits include a featured role in Spielberg's The Fabelmans, Rob in Orange Justice, Julian Buchwald in AMC+'s upcoming series Smugshot (Sept 2025), and Will in the multi-award-winning short The Betrayal, which has earned over 400 accolades-including 10 Best Actor awards for Rob. On stage, he's recognized for standout performances such as Charles Bingley in the sold-out Australian production of Pride and Prejudice and the Beast in Beauty and the Beast.

Rob's upcoming lead roles include Tommy in Rush Week (2026, horror franchise), Sonnelon in The Banished (2026), and Hammer in Out of Time (2026), which he is also producing.

Behind the camera, Rob has worked as an art director on 10 productions, including the first two episodes of the TV series Chatham (starring Brian Austin Green and Andrew Keegan). He continues to serve both on-screen and in the art department for the series. In addition to art direction, Rob has experience as an assistant director, location manager (handling permits for three features), production assistant, and producer.

His producing credits include the feature Hidden Lives (A Greek God Entertainment), which premiered in LA in 2025. He is currently co-producing the sci-fi film Out of Time, romantic drama One Pulse, and the short film Transmission. He recently joined Michael Bretten Media as a Co-Executive Producer.

A trained musical theatre performer with a vocal range of C3-C5, Rob is also skilled in British, Irish, and American accents. With over three years of teaching experience, he has led acting classes for kids and teens and directed and choreographed adult productions with Budding Entertainment, including Cheeky Cabaret and A Christmas Carol Goes Horribly Terribly Wrong in Canberra.
