As a voice actor, he made his TV show debut as Night King in an episode of the British animated action-adventure series, Danger Mouse in 2018.
Personal Trainer
Delaney regularly works out at the gym and his official Instagram account is replete with post-workout selfies. He ran his first marathon in New York City in 2006 to impress his wife before he married her and became a regular participant of races ever since.
The actor shared that he tends to gain mass on his buttocks and thighs. He limits his lower body training to running or following along a home workout DVD such as the Insanity. When in Los Angeles, Rob likes to run on the beach or swim in the ocean even in cold temperatures.
In terms of diet, Delaney has frequently confessed to having little discipline. He claims that he gets his ‘buzz’ from junk food. Fatherhood and stubborn layers of fat on his neck and belly prevent him from a daily food binge. The comedian added that his body weight may easily fluctuate by 20 pounds without creating a visible difference in his physical appearance. Delaney claims that sobriety is his biggest achievement in life, which made it possible for him to have a successful marriage.
