Back in 2012, The Price Is Right began searching for their first permanent male model, After the open call for auditions , 24 year old Massachusetts model Rob Wilson beat out over 20 other hopefuls to became one of the final three choices. Viewers then got to vote and their choice was clear, Rob and his incredible ads would now be regular parts of all the showcase showdowns!
Wilson left the role a year and a half later after getting small roles on television and in movies, including a regular role on the short lived re-boot of All My Children. Since May of this year, Wilson took over the role of Ben (previously played by another model, Justin Gaston) on NBC's Days Of Our Lives. Wilson sure is purdy, but the jury is still out on the depth of acting skills. So far it is iffy, but in all fairness he hasn't been much to do thus far other than to growl at anyone bothering his sister and crush.
One thing Rob can do is intimidate the hell out of any other male actor on the show expected to be shirtless in the same scene that he is in. I am not sure whether they had their own lighting and make-up crew but on the shows 4th of July episode, his Abs stole each and ever scene he was in. It was hard to focus on anything really as Robs abs glistened and flexed in the July sun (January Studio Lighting). There is a sweetness and earnestness about the young actor however that has me hoping there are many shirtless days left to his life on the show.
I didn't actually see the show on the 4th, but thankfully Youtube I, and you can check it out. Ship to about the 3:40 minute mark for the ab parade.
