Robert Palmer Watkins caught the acting bug early on, beating out hundreds of other teens for the coveted role of Danny in Barksdale Theater's production of GREASE. After 2 years studying musical theater at Christopher Newport University, he left everything behind to move west where he would graduate from the prestigious American Musical and Dramatic Academy in Hollywood.

Robert's professional journey began when he booked his first guest stars on Spike's 1000 WAYS TO DIE and Lifetime's MY CRAZY EX. Soon after, he was elevated to leading man status in his first feature, SAFARI. Rob now boasts a robust resume including credits such as FRAT HOUSE MUSICAL for Subway, web series SKETCH JUICE, feature film BACK TO AWESOME, and Cinemax's THE GIRL'S GUIDE TO DEPRAVITY. Watkins racked up 200+ episodes in his two and a half years as Dillon Quartermaine on ABC's iconic GENERAL HOSPITAL. Robert recently starred in two action thrillers, LAST THREE DAYS and PUNCTURE. He has two pilots under his belt with CW Seed's CUPID'S MATCH, starring as the titular Cupid, and GREEN VALLEY, starring as Eddie Escovedo. Robert can currently be seen in AMC's new THE WALKING DEAD: WORLD BEYOND.

When he's not on set you'll find Robert at the gym, the beach, on hikes, or in jam sessions with his buddies. He also values quality time with his family back home in Richmond, VA and North Carolina.
