several short film projects and fell in love with the business. On his
16th birthday, Rob landed a recurring role on the Nickelodeon TV Show,
Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide (2004).
Ned's Declassified School Survival Guide chronicles the wacky adventures of Ned Bigby (Devon Werkheiser) who shares his tips and tricks on navigating junior high hurdles. " Each episodes takes one week to shoot," tells Rob," and I get to work with an awesome group of people." The list includes: Jim J. Bullock (Too Close for Comfort (1980)), Meshach Taylor (Designing Women (1986)), and Fred Savage (The Wonder Years (1988)). Rob plays Coconut Head, a nickname his character receives because of a haircut gone terribly wrong. "My mom gives me a haircut right before the first day of school," tells Rob," and it comes out in the shape of a coconut! Not a good first impression!" Rob worked all three seasons on Ned's with over 42 episodes to his credit!
Rob also starred in MTV's _Punk'd_ with Ashton Kutcher. He appears in 5 episodes where he takes part in some pretty devilish pranks on some well-known celebrities: tennis star Serena Williams, basketball great Dirk Nowitzki, Zach Braff (star of Scrubs (2001)), and singers Jos Stone and Jo Jo!
Rob co-starred in the movie The Derby Stallion (2005) with Zac Efron, (Disney's High School Musical (2006)), and Crystal Hunt, (Guiding Light (1952)). Shot on location in North Georgia, this is a family film about a boy and his desire to be an equestrian champion.
