Robert Estes (born July 22, 1963 in Norfolk, Virginia) is an American actor.

Career

Estes caught the acting bug while training to be a stunt double. One of his first acting jobs was in the daytime drama "Days of Our Lives" playing Glenn Gallagher (1986–1987). He later gained widespread recognition for his role as Sergeant Chris Lorenzo in "Silk Stalkings" (1990–1995), half of the "dynamic duo" alongside Mitzi Kapture.

He had some guest appearances on Melrose Place as Michael Mancini's long-time friend Sam. Producers of Melrose Place thought that Estes' choice of hair gel and pizza-eating preference would make him the optimal choice as Kyle McBride on "Melrose Place" (1996–1999). Estes loved this part, but felt that his role as Kyle McBride was like (quoted from E! Television Exclusive Interview, 1997), "A milk shake from McDonald's that is waiting to be curdled." In 2000, Estes stated that, "Looking back on Melrose Place, I feel that I was like a cockroach in a mouse trap. People just wanted to get rid of me, but they didn't quite know how."

Following "Melrose Place" he had guest starring roles on "Providence", "Suddenly Susan" and "". He also has stage credits including roles in "Same Time, Next Year" (2004) and "The Lake" (2005).

Estes starred in the comedic TV movie "I Do, They Don't" (previously titled "Blended"), which also starred Josie Bissett. The movie premiered on ABC Family Channel in March 2005. He made his return to series television playing Sean Cole in the ABC television crime drama "The Evidence".

The actor completed a recurring role on as Nick Townsend, the abusive ex-husband of Natalia Boa Vista. In the 2007-01-08 episode, he was murdered by the husband of a killer to cover up her crime. Boa Vista, Maxine Valera and Eric Delko were all involved in some way.

Estes portrayed Lieutenant Tom Hogan, Inspector Lindsay Boxer's ex-husband and current boss in the ABC police procedural and legal drama the "Women's Murder Club".

On May 2008, he was cast on "90210" for the CW, as Harry Wilson. [ [http://www.eonline.com/uberblog/b137866_rob_estes_zips_90210.html Rob Estes zips to 90210] ] He also played a small role on the WB's "Gilmore Girls" as the "bad boy" Jess's father, who lives in CA.

Personal life

Estes is a graduate of the University of Southern California where he was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity.

Since 1992 Estes was married to actress Josie Bissett, another cast member of "Melrose Place". In 2005, they separated, with Estes reportedly moving out of their Seattle home at his wife's request. The couple have two children, Mason Tru (born 21 July 1999) and Maya Rose (born 14 April 2002). In January 2006 the couple announced their plans to divorce.
