Career
When Rob Belushi played Bobby Jr. in “The Birthday Boy” (1986), he was making his professional acting debut as a young actor. Rob was interested in working behind the scenes, but he also had other plans.
He didn’t discover his love for acting until he was a college student. Rob chose to pursue acting when a buddy suggested he take on a small role in a play. Oddly enough, he enjoyed it and decided to continue.
Despite having connections in the field, Rob struggled to make it as an actor and even worked at Starbucks to make ends meet.

He appeared in three popular films from that year: “Legally Blonde,” “Sorority Row,” and “RiffRaff.” His performance as “Otis Jay” in “RiffRaff” was so masterfully performed that it earned him the Best Actor in a Supporting Role award from the 2007 Tenerife International Film Festival.
