He played the leading role of Andy Brazil in the TNT original TV movie THE HORNET'S NEXT and Drew Patterson in ABC Family's PICTURE THIS opposite Ashley Tisdale.
Born in Toronto, Ontario, Amell's journey to Tinseltown wasn't like most young actors. While his mother had secured a commercial and print agent for him at the age of six, Amell was never consumed with Hollywood and concentrated his efforts into sports. He was one of the best hockey players in his high school and had thoughts of going pro when everything changed. When he was a junior in high school, he was called in for his first ever movie audition for a featured role as Eugene Levy and Carmen Electra's son 'Daniel' in the motion picture CHEAPER BY THE DOZEN 2. He fit the mold of the character so well, that the writers gave him a line to say, and then another, and then another and eventually his character blew up to a strong supporting role and Robbie got the acting bug! His parents were very supportive and told him to wait on college for a bit and follow his dream of acting. So, two short years later after graduation, Robbie packed up and headed for Los Angeles.
When Robbie isn't acting, one of his passions is being a part of One Heartland a non- profit charity that helps children with HIV and AIDS. He loves to participate in their summer camps that are held every year in Malibu and Minnesota that brings children from all over the world (most from poverty) and give them an expense free week at the camp.
On his down time, Robbie his obsessed with cars, and loves sports, (especially hockey and golf) and hanging out with his fiancée and their two very little dogs.
