Robert James DuBois was born and raised in the small Midwestern town of Freeburg, Illinois, where his passion for acting was sparked at the tender age of ten. This epiphanic moment occurred while watching his older brother, Matthew, take to the stage for the first time at the local children's theater, mesmerized by the magic and imagination associated with the theater. Inspired by this experience, Robert eventually followed in his brother's footsteps, taking on a lead role at the same local children's theater for the next four years, further solidifying his dedication to the craft.
As he grew older, Robert's desire to hone his skills and pursue a career in acting led him to relocate to Los Angeles, California in 2001, at the age of twenty. He enrolled in the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, where he earned a degree and continued to refine his craft by studying with renowned coaches such as Ivana Chubbuck, Lesly Kahn, and The Second City.
Throughout his career, Robert has had the opportunity to appear in a wide range of commercials, collaborating with prominent brands such as Fiat, Bud Light, Spectrum, Google, Disney, Dawn, ESPN, and many more. This extensive experience has not only allowed him to develop his acting abilities but also to cultivate a strong sense of professionalism and versatility.
In 2017, Robert landed his first significant television credit, playing the role of Sergeant Hill in the Netflix series Medal of Honor, produced by the acclaimed filmmaker Robert Zemeckis. This milestone marked a significant turning point in his career, paving the way for future opportunities and challenges.
Robert's ultimate goal is to work with some of the most influential filmmakers in the industry, including David Fincher, Paul Thomas Anderson, Christopher Nolan, and the Cohen brothers. He is driven by a passion for storytelling and a desire to be a part of projects that leave a lasting impact on audiences.
In his free time, Robert enjoys a variety of activities, including camping, hiking, long walks on the beach, and writing poetry. He is also an avid musician and can often be found playing the guitar. Additionally, he has a fondness for thrift store shopping and can often be found scouring local shops for unique finds.
Robert currently resides in Santa Monica, California with his wife, Jennifer, and their two-year-old son, Jacob, where he continues to pursue his acting career and work towards his goals.
