Rookie L. Burwick was born on July 16th, 1980 in the small town of Gransville, Ohio to his two parents, George Franch Burwick and May Trick Burwick. When he was only five years of age, his parents moved from Ohio to Lewiston, Maine for work purposes, which was followed by the sad death of his mother, just three months later.

Early on, Rookie began showing talent for comedy, which began with him telling his close family funny jokes. He also showed talent for writing, which he soon put into motion within the following years. He began writing short stories, which combined his humorous nature with his talent and love for writing. When he was twelve, he wrote his first full-length story, which he entitled "The Monster in the Brush". He continued to build his passion for stand-up comedy and writing stories, and soon made then both worth while.

He began his career with doing short stand-up comedy night shows on stage at local places, then was hired by an entertainment agent to come a do a comedy show on a stage in Los Angeles, where he got his big break. Within the next year, he began his acting career by playing the head role in David Newton's comedy TV-series, Mr. Patrick, which soon got him launched into his first film role, Mystery, Alaska which starred Mike Myers and Burt Reynolds. Then, 2001, his second big film debut arrived, the hit comedy-detective film, Cops Like Us.

Today, after having starred in many successful films, Rookie spends his time living in the mountains of Colorado, and writing novels. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, his five kids, and his welsh corgi dog.
