	Actors - Robb Wells

Robb Wells (b. Moncton, New Brunswick in 1971) is a Canadian actor and screenwriter who portrays Ricky on Trailer Park Boys
. Robb was born in Moncton, New Brunswick and moved to Dartmouth, Nova Scotia when he was eight years old. When he was young, he once put on a play for his church. The minister cancelled it after one showing because there was too much swearing in it. Rob was an excellent soccer player in his youth.

Wells hails from Moncton, New Brunswick where his dad worked as a civilian officer in charge of the RCMP Forensic Crime Lab. He moved to Dartmouth when he was eight years old, and eventually moved to a house on the same street as John Paul Tremblay. While John Paul was out riding around on his dirt bike, Robb was out playing on the soccer fields. By the time he was in high school, Robb was playing with some of Nova Scotia’s best soccer players. They represented Nova Scotia at the Canadian National Championships, and won gold for Canada at the International Tournament in New Jersey.

Robb Wells developed his artistic side at an early age with the help of his grade 9 and 10 English teachers. In high school, he started hanging around with John Paul Tremblay and Mike Clattenburg and the three of them collaborated on their first short film, One Last Shot. The following year the three work together again on their first pilot, Trailer Park Boys
. Neither Wells nor John Paul has appeared in a film without the other. Shared film credits include U.S. feature Virginia’s Run.

Since the last season of Trailer Park Boys, Wells has had little down time. He starred as Joe in the U.S. feature film Hole in One, and appeared as a featured guest of the band Our Lady Peace on their cross-Canada Fear of The Trailer Park tour. He also joined John Paul (Julian) and Mike Smith (Bubbles) as guest stars in the video, The Darkest One, by The Tragically Hip and is also collaborating with John Paul on at least of couple of feature film screenplays.

The Globe and Mail once identified Wells as being a distant cousin of Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper. "These two men are descendents of the same great-great-great-great-great grandfather, George Dobson."
