## Early life and start in acting
Campo was born in [Wheeling, West Virginia](https://www.edgepedia.org/wheeling-west-virginia), in 1983.[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2092545/) Before acting, he spent years painting houses, work he found monotonous, and decided to pursue a career in Hollywood instead. He described the turning point as incidental: "I took an acting class on the side almost as a fluke," he told *Maxim* in 2015, adding that the class let him "explore sides of myself I didn't even know existed."[5](https://www.maxim.com/style/outfitted-bobby-campo/)
His first screen credit came in the 2005 thriller *Vampire Bats*, in which he played Don and was billed as Bobby Camposecco.[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2092545/) Early guest appearances followed in television series including *South Beach*, *Criminal Minds*, *Grey's Anatomy*, *CSI: Miami*, *CSI: Crime Scene Investigation*, and *Law & Order: Special Victims Unit*.[6](https://www.metacritic.com/person/bobby-campo/) In a 2009 interview with the *Philippine Star*, he said he had been working as an actor for three years at that point and had not yet found a comfort zone, which he considered part of the appeal of the profession.[3](https://qa.philstar.com/entertainment/2009/08/31/500641/why-fans-final-destination-will-scream-more)
## The Final Destination (2009)
Campo's career peak in film came with *The Final Destination*, the fourth installment of the horror franchise, in which he played Nick O'Bannon, a young man who narrowly avoids death thanks to a last-minute premonition and then finds that Death is not finished with him.[2](https://www.tvinsider.com/people/bobby-campo/) The film was his first feature and was shot entirely in 3D.[3](https://qa.philstar.com/entertainment/2009/08/31/500641/why-fans-final-destination-will-scream-more) According to TV Insider, the movie thrived at the box office.[2](https://www.tvinsider.com/people/bobby-campo/)
In the same year he guest-starred on an episode of the drama *Mental* and played the primary love interest, Chris, in the direct-to-video comedy sequel *[Legally Blondes](https://www.edgepedia.org/legally-blondes)*.[2](https://www.tvinsider.com/people/bobby-campo/)
## Television work and Scream
After *The Final Destination*, Campo worked mainly in television movies and series.[2](https://www.tvinsider.com/people/bobby-campo/) He was cast as the lead in the 2011 horror film *Séance*, about a group of friends who break into a mortuary and inadvertently summon a demon.[2](https://www.tvinsider.com/people/bobby-campo/) Guest appearances in the early 2010s included Yolo in *Justified*, Carl in *Masters of Sex*, Max in *[Being Human](https://www.edgepedia.org/being-human-north-american-tv-series)*, and Brian in *Grey's Anatomy*; on Metacritic's scale of television credits, *Justified* carried the highest Metascore of his appearances, at 86.[6](https://www.metacritic.com/person/bobby-campo/)
**Scream: The TV Series.** In 2015 he took the role of Seth Branson, an English teacher entangled in the murder mystery of the series based on the 1996 slasher film. In a 2015 *Maxim* interview he explained that casting directors Eric Souliere and Sara Isaacson had seen his work on *Masters of Sex* and placed him on their annual list of actors to cast; "I can tell you it's usually not that easy," he said.[5](https://www.maxim.com/style/outfitted-bobby-campo/) His character joined the suspect list after getting involved with one of his students, and Campo called the chance to play a teacher who "sheds light on society by combining classics with current trends, and yet is completely destructive in his personal life" the thing that drew him to the part.[5](https://www.maxim.com/style/outfitted-bobby-campo/) He appeared in 12 episodes across the 2015 to 2016 run.[1](https://www.imdb.com/name/nm2092545/)
