- Rob attended St. Benedict's School, Ealing, London, England, from September 1970 until the summer of 1977. He was known as a roguish character, often in trouble with the authorities but always well-liked. In his teens he 'borrowed' his neighbours' sportscar whilst looking after their house and wrote it off, along with a fair stretch of substantial fencing. His rakish good looks, along with a glint in his eye, meant that he was a popular cast member in school plays. In his later teens he joined the Questors Theatre company in Ealing Broadway.
