Robb Wells (Ricky) hails from Moncton, New Brunswick where his dad worked as a civilian officer in charge of the RCMP Forensic Crime Lab. Robb moved to Dartmouth when he was eight years old, and eventually moved to a house on the same street as John Paul Tremblay. While John Paul was out riding around on his dirt bike, Robb was out playing on the soccer fields. By the time he was in high school, Robb was playing with some of Nova Scotia’s best soccer players. They represented Nova Scotia at the Canadian National Championships, and won gold for Canada at the International Tournament in New Jersey.

Robb developed his artistic side at an early age with the help of his grade 9 and 10 English teachers. In high school, Robb started hanging around with John Paul Tremblay and Mike Clattenburg and the three of them collaborated on their first short film, One Last Shot. The following year the three work together again on their first pilot, Trailer Park Boys. Neither Robb nor John Paul has appeared in a film without the other. Shared film credits include U.S. feature Virginia’s Run.

Since the last season of Trailer Park Boys, Robb has had little down time. He starred as Joe in the U.S. feature film Hole-In-One, and appeared as a featured guest of the band Our Lady Peace on their cross-Canada Fear of The Trailer Park tour. Robb also joined John Paul (Julian) and Mike Smith (Bubbles) as guest stars in the video, The Darkest One, by The Tragically Hip and is also collaborating with John Paul on at least of couple of feature film screenplays.
