Rob can next be seen in the action-thriller feature film DEEP WATER opposite Aaron Eckhart and Ben Kingsley. His international credits also include the feature film THE MEG as D’Angelo opposite Jaosn Statham and the AppleTV+ mini series, CHIEF OF WAR opposite Jason Momoa.
Robs’ early career saw him in New Zealand TV productions, such as Shortland Street, The Brokenwood Mysteries, Find Me A Maori Bride, Nothing Trivial and Korero Mai, Consent, The Deadlands and Waru. He then began working in Australia for three seasons on the Seven television series, 800 Words.
His Australasian and UK following grew rapidly after being cast in the long-running Seven series Home and Away as Ari Parata, a Maori father figure seeking a better life in Australia. Rob and his onscreen family played the characters through a Maori cultural lens which was an Australian television first and was a hit with audiences.
