Born in Quebec, Canada, Robert Naylor is fluent in English and French. He started taking theater classes at the age of 5, and acting quickly turned into a passion. On his first audition he landed a role in an English TV commercial and has never looked back. Since 2006 he has had a very active voice acting career in English original animation and dubbing (as "D.W." in the TV animated series Arthur (1996); "Leo" in the original animation "Nelly and Caesar"). He can also be heard in many French radio and TV (voice) commercials. On TV he has appeared in Lance et compte: La revanche (2006), Race to Mars (2007), Voices (2008) (aka "Voices"), Fakers (2010). At the age of 12 he landed his first lead role in the Quebec feature film 10½ (2010), the second feature film directed by Daniel Grou (aka Podz). He plays Tommy alongside veteran Quebec actor Claude Legault. The film earned him the Best Actor award at the 12th International Film Festival Bratislava in 2010; in 2011, he also won a Young Artist Award - Leading Performance by an Actor in an International Feature Film, received a Special Mention for his role in "10 1/2" at the 21st Film Festival of Sept-Iles in the category of Best Male Actor as well as a nomination for a Genie Award in the category of Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role.

In 2011, he completed work on Cyber Bully (2011), a TV movie directed by 'Charles Binamé' as well as plays the lead in a short film entitled Alone With Mr. Carter, directed by 'Jean-Pierre Bergeron'. Robert is a child with very broad and varied interests. He demonstrates passion and total commitment in all he undertakes, whether in school, on the soccer field, in a hockey arena, on the ski slopes or when he is playing the drums, the bass and the electric guitar. Additionally, Robert has always had a keen interest in History - in fact it is his favorite subject at school.
