Bio

Written by Brooke Holden

Robbie found his calling to be an actor while performing on stage at Cordova High School in the outskirts of Memphis,TN, though his love for all things artistic has been apparent from the day he was born. Whether drawing, playing guitar or dancing, Robbie’s passion for learning, combined with his dedication to perfect his craft has made him an unstoppable force.

His charismatic personality accented by his award winning smile quickly made Robbie a favorite among audiences, and his on stage endeavors continued to earn him recognition throughout his theater studies at the University of Southern Mississippi. Robbie treats every project with equal enthusiasm and professionalism, turning even the smallest role of a “Gendarme” in the play SCAPIN  into a show stopping crowd-pleaser. The role received honorable mention at the American College Theater Festival (ACTF) regional division, despite the fact he never uttered a word.  

However, it was in the intimate settings of small black box theaters that Robbie truly commanded his audience, and learned that his talents are best expressed on film.

After earning his BFA in Theater Performance in just 3 years, Robbie moved to Jacksonville, FL where he studied ballroom dancing with former Ukraine Latin Champion, Stanislav Datsenko and competed on the Pro/Amateur circuit. Staying true to his small town values, Robbie shared his talents by performing in the city’s local “Dancing with the Stars”, helping to raise $16,000 for Breast Cancer Awareness. It was while balancing a promising dance career that Robbie also booked his first on-camera credits.

But stars are meant to shine, and soon the lights of Los Angeles were calling his name. Though he has only been in the land of dreams for 3 short years, Robbie has established himself as a full-time professional actor. Recent credits include commercials for Subway and Baskin Robbins as well as a strong supporting role in the film “Ordinary Average Guys” opposite acting great, Jack McGee (The Fighter), not to mention numerous short films, spec projects, and webisodes. Directors and fellow cast agree that Robbie is tireless in his pursuit of perfection, without compromising his level of commitment to his on screen peers. But don’t let the sparkling blue eyes and generous heart deceive you. Robbie has the innate ability to reach into dark depths of human emotion, and thrives when challenged by complex, volatile characters.

Robbie’s dramatic and comedic range on screen, fused with his small-town, All-American guy off screen makes him a lovable addition to every set. It won’t be long before this rising star outshines the others.
