Rob Schiller

Born in Buffalo, NY, Schiller worked as a child actor and began directing at the age of eleven. He followed a play about Harry Houdini with homemade super-8 films on his father's camera in his early teens and purchased a children's theatre company at the age of nineteen, which he ran as a successful commercial venture. Graduating from Buffalo State College, he entered the television industry as first a production supervisor and then a producer on the daytime soap opera "As the World Turns" (CBS 1956-2010) in 1984, before following his career to Los Angeles shortly afterwards. Among his other highest-profile directorial credits over the years were the sitcoms "Ellen" (ABC 1994-96), "Two and a Half Men" (CBS 2004-15) and "'Til Death" (Fox 2006-2010).
