The Murder of 'Harry Potter' Actor Rob Knox
*Be sure to check out the BIG announcement we have right at the top of the episode* To those who knew him, Rob Knox was a big ol' teddy bear. Don't let his large physique and rugby training fool you - Rob wasn't one to resort to violence. He was, however, always willing to stand up for others. A fun-loving prankster often described as "cheeky," Rob was a natural performer. His confidence and talent landed him acting jobs including his biggest of all - a character in the "Harry Potter" franchise. Sadly, Rob never got to see his work on the big screen. Just days after he completed filming, 18-year-old Rob Knox was murdered. Episode Sources: The Rob Knox Foundation https://www.robknox.org/ “(K)Nox: The Rob Knox Story” dir.
