Biography

Robert Robertson, affectionately referred to as Bobby, emerged into the world in the prestigious city of Edinburgh, Scotland, within a working-class family. His father, a diligent docker, and his mother, a meticulous cleaner, instilled in Bobby the importance of hard work and dedication from a young age. As a resident of the Broughton area, a predominantly affluent neighborhood, Bobby was enveloped by a tight-knit community where the residents, despite their diverse backgrounds, shared a deep understanding of one another's struggles and triumphs amidst the tumultuous backdrop of the Thatcher era.

As the 1990s dawned, a somber atmosphere pervaded the household of Bobby's family, as his father's unexpected job loss sent shockwaves of uncertainty through their lives. This pivotal moment in Bobby's childhood, marked by economic hardship and uncertainty, would leave an indelible mark on his young psyche.

In the midst of this turmoil, Bobby discovered a sanctuary in the world of cinema. Watching films became his trusted escape, a means of temporarily forgetting the difficulties that surrounded him. As he delved deeper into the world of movies, Bobby found himself drawn to the on-screen presence of his countrymen, Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, and Robert De Niro.

These iconic actors, with their commanding performances and unwavering dedication to their craft, inspired Bobby to pursue a career in acting. Their influence would forever alter the trajectory of his life, as he sought to follow in their footsteps and make a name for himself in the competitive world of entertainment.

Bobby's formative experiences in the realm of drama and acting led him to numerous institutions of learning in Edinburgh, where he diligently refined his artistic skills and subsequently secured parts in a variety of productions. He assumed the spotlight in the musical extravaganza "Gypsy", the gritty dramatic portrayal "The Twelve Angry Men", and "The Office Party", showcasing his versatility as a performer. Furthermore, he had the privilege of bringing to life the legendary physicist Albert Einstein in the production "Dynamo Of the 21st Century", an experience that allowed him to traverse the fabric of time and engage with one of his greatest idols, the renowned James Clerk Maxwell.

As the years went by, Bobby's professional journey encountered a significant hurdle in securing a steady stream of work in the television and film industries, prompting him to redirect his energies towards his theatrical pursuits.

Despite the obstacles, he was able to snag a few minor roles in prominent Scottish television series, including the critically acclaimed "Taggart" and the highly regarded "Rebus." This experience, although limited, ultimately paved the way for his involvement in a variety of commercials for well-known companies, such as JET2.COM.

Furthermore, Bobby began to explore the realm of voice-over work for both television and radio, marking a new chapter in his professional career and allowing him to diversify his skills and experience.

As time passed, Bobby's moment of triumph finally arrived in the form of significant cinematic appearances in various horror movie productions, specifically notable roles in the films "Bridal Fever", "The Second Life Club", and "Bloods A Rover", which marked a pivotal turning point in his professional journey.
