Biography

Finlay Robertson's early life was marked by his birth in the Netherlands to Scottish parents, who later relocated to the North West of England, where he spent his formative years. His academic pursuits led him to study History at Cambridge University, a prestigious institution renowned for its academic excellence.

After completing his studies, Robertson's passion for the performing arts led him to take the stage at the Edinburgh Fringe, a renowned international arts festival. His impressive performance caught the attention of an agent, who subsequently signed him, paving the way for his professional career.

As he transitioned to London to pursue his acting ambitions, Robertson's talent was soon recognized, and he began to appear in various plays, including a memorable, albeit unconventional, performance in Jez Butterworth's 'The Night Heron' at The Royal Court, where he appeared nude on stage.

In addition to his work in theatre, Robertson has also made a significant impact in the world of short films, starring in the lead roles of independent films such as 'In A Day' and 'The Story Of'. His feature credits also include a lead role in the independent film 'The Night Heron'.

Robertson's television career has seen him play a variety of roles, including guest leads and series regulars in popular shows such as ITV's 'Life Begins', BBC3's 'How Not To Live Your Life', and BBC1's 'The Body Farm'.

In addition to his work in front of the camera, Robertson has also demonstrated his creative versatility by writing, directing, and editing a short film, 'Count Backwards From Ten'. He has also written and performed a one-person play, 'Strong Arm', which was taken to the Edinburgh Fringe by The Old Vic Theatre.

Today, Robertson resides in North London with his wife and family, continuing to pursue his passion for the performing arts and leaving a lasting impact on the entertainment industry.
