Robbie Gee

Robbie Gee’s one of those faces you spot and instantly go, “Wait, I know that guy!” He’s been all over British TV, theatre, and film for ages, and honestly, it’s not hard to see why folks love him. Most people in the UK remember him as Lee in “Desmond’s”—proper classic. Plus, he kept everyone laughing on “The Real McCoy,” which was a big deal back in the day. On stage? He’s basically done the rounds: Theatre Royal Stratford East, Royal Court, National Theatre, you name it. Oh, and he’s toured the country with “The Posse.” Guy stays busy. Film-wise, Robbie’s got a wild mix. He showed up in “The Firm” with Gary Oldman, which is a proper cult classic if you’re into British crime dramas. Then there’s “Underworld”—yeah, the one with vampires and werewolves, Kate Beckinsale in leather, the whole bit—he played Khan, bringing some real edge. Gee even popped up in “Snatch,” rubbing shoulders with some of the biggest UK names. If you’re into gritty gangster stuff, “Rollin’ with the Nines” is right up your alley, and he’s in that too. Hollywood? He’s been there, playing Shrimper in “Pirates of the Caribbean” (pirates, sword fights, the whole shebang) and even teamed up with action legend Steven Seagal in “Out of Reach.” The man’s done it all—comedy, crime, action, the lot.
