Robert Marcato (born 21 November 1983) was a cast member for three seasons on the American reality show "The Osbournes". He was a family friend who Sharon took in after his mother died of cancer in 2002. He was introduced as a school friend of Osbourne daughters Kelly and Aimee, though on the show he hung out mostly with teenage son Jack. In an episode from the first season, before he moved into the Osbourne home, Kelly jokes that reporters constantly mistake Robert for her boyfriend, "but he's just a friend." While a constant presence in front of the camera, few plots revolved around Robert and he had few lines. The Osbournes tried their best to make him part of the family. In the episode "Beauty and the Bert," Sharon objects to Kelly's choice of a grungy rocker for a boyfriend and exclaims, "You were meant to be with Robert!" Kelly retorts, "That would be incest!"

In 2008, the "Palm Beach Post" reported that the Osbournes had sent Robert back to Rhode Island to live with his father after spending a week at a psych ward.
