Chris Lorenzo on the crime drama series ''[[Silk Stalkings]]'', and as Kyle McBride on the primetime soap opera ''[[Melrose Place]]''.

== Career ==
Estes first became interested in an acting career while training to be a [[stunt double]]. One of his first acting jobs was in the soap opera ''[[Days of Our Lives]]'' playing Glenn Gallagher (1986–1987). He later gained widespread recognition for his role as Sergeant Chris Lorenzo in ''[[Silk Stalkings]]'' (1991–1995), half of the "dynamic duo" alongside [[Mitzi Kapture]].

In 1993, Estes had a guest role on the prime time [[Fox Broadcasting Company|Fox]] soap opera ''[[Melrose Place]]'', playing Sam Towler. Three years later, the producers of the series brought him back but cast him in a different role, that of restaurateur Kyle McBride. Estes played the role from 1996 to the series' cancellation in 1999.

Following ''Melrose Place'', he had guest starring roles on ''[[Providence (American TV series)|Providence]]'', ''[[Suddenly Susan]]'', ''[[Law & Order: Special Victims Unit]]'' and ''[[Gilmore Girls]]''. He also performed in theater, and had roles in ''Same Time, Next Year'' (2004) and ''The Lake'' (2005).

Estes starred in the comedy film ''[[I Do, They Don't]]'' (previously titled ''Blended''), which premiered on [[Freeform (TV channel)|ABC Family]] in March 2005 and also starred his ''Melrose Place'' co-star and then-wife [[Josie Bissett]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr/television/brief_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000698662 |title=Estes, Bissett in 'Blended' family |work=[[The Hollywood Reporter]] |date=November 3, 2004 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20050330024329/http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/thr/television/brief_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1000698662 |archive-date=March 30, 2005 |access-date=January 13, 2005}}</ref> He made his return to series television playing Sean Cole in the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] television crime drama ''[[The Evidence (TV series)|The Evidence]]''.

He completed a recurring role on ''[[CSI: Miami]]'' as Nick Townsend, the abusive ex-husband of [[Natalia Boa Vista]]. In a January 2007 episode, he was murdered by the husband of a killer to cover up her crime.

Estes then portrayed Lieutenant Tom Hogan, Inspector Lindsay Boxer's ex-husband and current boss in the ABC [[police procedural]] and legal drama ''[[Women's Murder Club (TV series)|Women's Murder Club]]''.

In May 2008, Estes was cast as [[Harry Wilson (90210)|Harry Wilson]] in ''[[90210 (TV series)|90210]]'' on [[The CW]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Serpe |first=Gina |url=http://www.eonline.com/news/1137/rob-estes-zips-to-90210 |title=Rob Estes zips to ''90210'' |publisher=[[E!
