Robert Gant continues to emerge as one of Hollywood's most sought-after actors. Gant began acting in television commercials at the age of ten in his home state of Florida. At the age of eleven, he performed a soft-shoe routine with Bob Hope as part of Hope's USO tour. Following high school, Gant headed to the University of Pennsylvania and then on to Georgetown Law School. While studying law, he never gave up on his true passion, acting, and performed in numerous theatrical productions. Interestingly, it was his career as an attorney that brought him to Los Angeles when he accepted a position with the world's largest law firm. In a twist of fate, four months after his relocation, the Los Angeles office was closed. Taking that as an omen, he made the decision to focus all of his time on his acting and has been working ever since. Robert currently plays Professor Ben Bruckner on the hit television series "Queer As Folk." Gant currently resides in Los Angeles.


He was a practicing attorney before going into acting full time. At the age of eleven, he performed a soft-shoe routine with Bob Hope as part of Hope's USO tour. In 2006, The Human Rights Campaign presented him with the National Equality Award at the 11th Annual Nashville Rights Campaign Equality Dinner. In 2007, Robert was presented with the Davidson/Valentini Award at the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards.
