Robert Trebor (born June 7, 1953) is an American character actor, perhaps best known for his role as "Salmoneus" on the cult hits Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess. His stage name is a palindrome meaning it is spelled the same way backwards as it is forwards.
Trebor was born Robert Schenkman and grew up in Northeast Philadelphia, first showing signs of interest in acting around age 13. He was soon taking acting classes and participating in local theater groups. He also won several filmmaking awards from Kodak short film competitions, and the local Philadelphia ABC and PBS affiliates for a short black and white film called "Communicate!?"
