Rob's Story
What's up guys it been about 25 years, so I guess it's time for me to chime in. Well here it goes in a nutshell. After graduating Mather school, I went to Wright College for two years, then I transferred over to Northern Illinois University, where I walked on and played Division I football there and ultimately I graduated with my Bachelor's degree in Communications. After not getting drafted I was signed or offered several contracts to played football professionally in the arena leagues. And I also had tryouts for the Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Tigercats in Canada. After my playing career was over, I decided to get back into my career field of becoming a television journalist. As fate would have it, while job hunting I bump into a person who would change my life forever. This person told me that I had a certain look they were looking for, and decided to cast me on FOX's EMPIRE!!!!! Yes, the Lyon's family on FOX!!! Now you can see me each week or ...Expand for more
every couple weeks on Empire. You can also find me on "THE CHI" season 1(episode 8 i believe) and season 2 on showtime. I have a quick cameo in the upcoming Movie "WIDOWS"!!!!(if they don't cut my scene out, LOL!!) I have a featured role in the movie"CAPTIVE STATE" coming to theaters on March 29, 2019. I have a lot more stuff coming out on television and the movies in 2019, I'll try to keep you guys posted every couple of months but that's it for now!!!
P.S.
If you are expecting to see that skinny 6'3'' 170 kid from from high school, forget about it, I'm about a little under 6' 6'' and around 285-295 pounds!
