Robb Wells was born on October 28, 1971 in Moncton, New Brunswick and
raised in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia since the age of 8. His father was a
Forensic Expert with The RCMP. Robb later went to high school with Mike
Clattenberg and John Paul Tremblay. The three were always pulling
practical jokes on people and getting into trouble. They had a bizarre
sense of humor. While Tremblay and Wells were operating a successful
chain of pizza restaurants called J.R. Capone's, they decided to pass
the time making crude video skits of themselves. In 1998 they made a
short film with acting veteran John Dunsworth called One last Shot. The
film won a best actor and best cinematography award. A year later they
made a mockumentary film called "Trailer Park boys" featuring newcomers
Patrick Roach, Mike Jackson, Cory Bowles, Lucy Decoutere and Jeanne
Harrison. During the filming, they met a sound mixer named Mike Smith,
and after the filming was complete they made a deal with Showcase to
make Trailer Park Boys into a TV Series with Mike Smith on board.
After the series was green-lit, the lovable Bubbles was born. Now there are 3 main characters in the Park. Besides their day jobs as restaurant managers in Nova Scotia and as sound mixers, Wells, John Paul Tremblay and Mike Smith are Canadian TV icons to this day.
