Robert Kazinsky was born on 18th November 1983 in Haywards Heath, which is in West Sussex, England. However he grew up in Brighton. He was born Robert John Appleby but later took his grandfather's middle name, Kazinsky, as his stage name. Robert is a British actor, who supports Brighton and Hove Albion FC, and is a very strong fan.

Robert's parents are Phyliss and Paul Appleby and has an older brother called Michael. Robert, although British, has Polish and Russian bloodlines, hence the name Kazinsky.

Robert attended Hove Park School in Hove during the years 1995-2000 but was expelled from that school and his future college. However Rob admitted to begin bullied at school, saying "When I was younger I was the ginger, pale one who got bullied", a quote from Wikipedia. It wasn't the best start for Robert Kazinsky, but despite the disappointing records, he made his way to the top as an actor with a grade B in his drama GCSE in the year 2000.

To start his career off, he starred in his former school and college productions. They were Bugsy Malone and Midsummer Night's Dream. He then attended the Guildford School of Acting from 2002 to July 2005. He appeared in a few Israeli television commercials, but really made his mark in the acting industry as a guest star for an episode of the CBBC's children's programme, the Basil Brush Show.

His character was called Sven Garley. However, the role he is most famous for is that of Casper Rose in the Sky One television football drama The Dream Team from late 2005 until 2006. Kazinsky announced his decision to leave the show towards the end of the 9th series and was then killed off. He is good friends with many co-stars from Dream Team to this day. Some of them are: Jamie Lomas-Hollyoaks, Kara Tointon-EastEnders and Ricky Whittle-Hollyoaks.

However on 18th January 2008 it was announced that Robert was going to leave the show to become a Hollywood actor, and would carry on filming until November and will stay on our screens until the end of 2008/beginning of 2009. However, during an interview with This Morning on 31st July 2008 Robert Kazinsky said that he would not be going to Hollywood, but would instead be fulfilling a life time dream of his and begin an apprenticeship as a mechanic. He quoted on This Morning "I pay my mechanics very well, as my car is in there every other week, so they have agreed to let me fulfill a dream of mine to do an apprenticeship to become a car mechanic."

On 29th September 2008 Rob won two awards at the Inside Soap Awards, these were the Best Actor and Best Looking Actor. These were his first awards during his time in EastEnders and he put stars like Robert James Collier, Coronation Street to shame.
