At 17, Canadian native Rob Stewart faced an abrupt change in his career plans. An injury forced him to turn down college athletic scholarships and set aside his dream of playing professional hockey. Instead, he earned money for school by singing and playing the guitar at local restaurants.
Since then, Stewart has landed numerous feature-film roles, including Kounterfeit (with Hilary Swank), Someone to Die For, Motel Blue, An American Affair and the crime drama The Pawn.
Stewart has also appeared on an array of TV series, although most viewers will probably recognize him from Sweating Bullets (a.k.a. Tropical Heat), in which he played the lead character, Nick Slaughter. Stewart wrote and directed several episodes of Sweating Bullets.
His small-screen work also includes Sweet Deception (with Kate Jackson), The Christmas List (with Mimi Rogers), Missing (with Vivica A. Fox), Highlander, Nash Bridges, The Collector, Jake 2.0 and SCI FI's original miniseries 5ive Days to Midnight (with Timothy Hutton and Randy Quaid).
