[edit]
Early life
Trebor grew up in Northeast Philadelphia, first showing signs of interest in acting around age 13. He was soon taking acting classes and participating in local theater groups. He also won several filmmaking awards from Kodak short film competitions, and the local Philadelphia ABC and PBS affiliates for a short black and white film called "Communicate!?"

He wrote, directed, and starred in this short, as well as composed the music on an early version of a Moog synthesizer. His first lead role on the stage was as Finch in How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying for the St. Joseph's Summer Music Theatre Festival. Along with his acting Robert won several national awards from Scholastic Magazines for writing film and theatre reviews. Ironically one of his award winning reviews was for John Frankenheimer's The Fixer. Years later he would star for Mr. Frankenheimer in the film 52 Pickup. After a brief focus on oratory, he returned to acting, majoring in theater at Northwestern University. He returned to Philadelphia to star with Bill Irwin in a revival of George Gershwin's "Strike Up The Band" for the inaugural season of the American Music Theatre Festival at the historic Walnut Street Theatre.

His Work
Trebor has alternated between film and television. On the silver screen, his most acclaimed work is probably 52 Pick-Up, directed by John Frankenheimer.

On television, Trebor rose to fame for playing the ever-out-to-make-a-buck merchant Salmoneus, a character originating on Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and making occasional crossovers to sister show Xena: Warrior Princess. Previously he had played the Son of Sam killer in the much-praised Out of the Darkness opposite Martin Sheen.

Any Wizardry fan knows that it's Robert spelled backwards, as in Robert Woodhead, one of the original authors of the old Wizardry computer game series. Man, as a kid I played that one to death several times over.
