Robert Faith, a talented individual, hails from Wellington, New Zealand, where he was born and raised. Currently, he splits his time between Christchurch, New Zealand, and Los Angeles, USA. Faith's early life was marked by his parents' professions - his father being a Royal New Zealand Airforce officer, and his mother, a dedicated nurse. At the tender age of eight, Faith embarked on his acting journey, taking on the lead role of Oliver in the renowned Gilbert and Sullivan musical. His remarkable voice, described as strong and pure, impressed the director so much that he opted to perform the show without microphones.
As a young boy, Faith appeared in numerous stage plays, honing his craft in classical violin, opera singing, and voice elocution. His early twenties saw him discovered by a talent manager while going about his daily life, and he was subsequently approached to pursue modeling work. Although he never found total satisfaction in this field, Faith did appear in dozens of catalogues across New Zealand, Australia, Japan, Taiwan, and Korea, becoming one of New Zealand's first well-recognized male print models. However, his true passion lay elsewhere, and he eventually branched out into television commercials, featuring in dozens of national and international TVCs.
In the late 1990s, Faith decided to expand his talent into television and film, landing extra roles in productions such as 'Captain James Cook', an international game show, ('Man 'o' Man'),and several short films. One of his early roles was that of a gangster in 'Bullets and Sunglasses', which involved a realistic fight scene involving a firearm. The scene was so convincing that a member of the public mistakenly called the police, and Faith narrowly avoided being shot by the authorities, despite the producer having notified the police department of the filming.
In 2006, Faith won the Best Portrayal of Character award at the 48 Hour Film Festival for his portrayal of Robin Slade, a goofy and lovable father. More recently, he has appeared in the award-winning feature film 'Sisterhood', where he played Kevin, a romantic and bumbling farmer, and 'Last of the Living', a comedy-horror film. Both of these films are currently in worldwide distribution.
