A FORMER EastEnders star has bagged a huge Hollywood movie role in the latest Star Trek flick.
The BBC soap star, 40, made his huge career reveal on Instagram and gushed over his “dream job.”
West Sussex-born Rob Kazinsky has played EastEnders‘ Sean Slater – brother of Stacey played by Lacey Turner – from August 2006.
He praised the “spectacular cast” of his latest movie project which will see him star alongside Hollywood A-lister Michelle Yeoh and Star Trek legend Jonathan Frakes in the upcoming Star Trek Section 31 film.
The movie is scheduled for release in 2025 with filming currently underway.
Alongside an image showing Michelle with a clipper board on-set, he wrote: “Yet ANOTHER dream job alert.
“My people know that ST [Star Trek] is my life, I can pretty much mouth along to every episode of every trek.
“So to be joining the Trek universe is one of, if not the greatest moment of my professional life.
“Also, I met @jonathansfrakes [actor and director] this morning for the second time. AND he knew my name!”
Rob decided to leave the fictional Walford-based soap in 2009, before making a brief comeback in 2016.
He has since made sporadic appearances in 2019, November 2021 and April 2022 relating to the other members of the Slater clan.
Rob was swiftly congratulated by his pals – including his former Eastenders co-stars – on his huge career news.
Fellow soap legend Jake Wood commented: “Proud of you Rob, go kill it.”
Former EastEnders star Kellie Shirley then wrote: “Bloody hell fire.”
Mohammed George, who played fan favourite Gus on the BBC soap, then said: “Gwarn.”
Ex Hollyoaks hunk turned Hollywood actor Ricky Whittle then penned: “Love this brooooo.”
Rob is no stranger to movie fame and has previously expanded his repertoire to include films in the Marvel Cinematic Universe where he starred as The Don in Captain Marvel in 2019.
Rob also played the part of Perini in the Netflix film The Gray Man, alongside Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Ana de Armas and Regé-Jean Page.
Late last year, we also reported how the actor looked completely different since his soap role.
Rob now sports a very different look from his days on EastEnders as he dons a shaven look to his sideburns while also wearing circular glasses with thin silver rims.
Yet, despite his slew of roles away from Albert Square – fans are still demanding to have him back.
Many viewers have called on show bosses to bring back the character of Sean in a bid to help his sister Stacey, who is currently embroiled in ‘The Six’ storyline following her involvement in the cover up of the murder of Keanu Taylor.
