Robert Crooks was born in Montreal, Quebec and he grew up in LaSalle, a quiet little city located just ten minutes outside of the heart of Montreal. Robert is the younger of two children, having an older brother of twenty-seven years old.

Robert grew up as a highly energetic young boy with an extreme fondness and respect for Mother Nature. Robert reveled in the yearly, summer trips he and his family took to Grand Isle, Vermont.


as Alex Poppy

Robert has grown into a much more relaxed adult who still loves and respects Mother Nature and who adores escaping to the country, from the city, to graciously accept the peace of mind that the outdoors offer him.

Once high school came to an end, Robert was forced to select a field of interest in which to develop a career. This was not easy. When he was a young boy, Robert wanted to be an archeologist for the sheer excitement of uncovering treasures, pirates gold, possibly King Tut, etc. However, Robert soon learned that the archeologists themselves do not get to keep the treasures they unearth….and his dream quickly faded. A secondary interest to archeology was to study and try to better understand the human condition. Two compatible fields of study came to mind - Psychology and Acting. Despite his complete inexperience in the field and his family's desolate financial situation at the time, Robert's mother (his most inspirational role model, to this day) encouraged him to try acting, since he seemed to show some passion towards the art form. Robert then applied to the Dome Theatre (a 3-year career program offered by Dawson College in Montreal) and received acceptance into the program despite a self-proclaimed horrible audition. The three years spent in the Dome theater program proved to be the three most grueling and taxing years of Robert's young life; and ultimately, the most rewarding. Robert discovered a true sense of self through acting.

Since graduating from the Dome Theater Program at Dawson College in 2000, Robert has been acting in episodic television, television commercials, theater and film in and around the Montreal area. Robert has appeared in the television series "Are You Afraid of the Dark?" (Nickolodeon/Cinar Films) and "Live Through This" (MTV / Telescene Film Group), as well as in the film "Varian's War" starring William Hurt and Julia Ormond (Showtime Entertainment). Robert's most recent work was as a recurring lead character on the popular television series "The Never Ending Story" (Muse Entertainment / Hallmark Entertainment).

Robert loves working in theater for its immediate human response/energy but also loves working in film and television for its power to weave subtlety.

Some of Robert's role models in the field of acting are: Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Billy Crudup, Gary Oldman, Johnny Depp, and Ethan Hawke

Robert is a firm believer in the power that our imaginations have, to give us perspectives on life other than those that are immediate and common to us.
