Talented actor, Robbie Kay, celebrates his twenty-third birthday today. From sweet, boyish characters to action and science fiction, the young star has grown up in the spotlight. He has appeared in major feature films such as World Wide Motion Pictures’, Ways to Live Forever (2010) and Griff Furst’s Cold Moon (2016). With work that has been notably well received by critics, Alicia Cox of the magazine, Chatelaine, commented on his work in Fugitive Pieces (2007). She states, “Robbie Kay, who plays the young Jakob, gives a remarkable performance with little words and a lot of emotion. When he smiles, you can’t help but to be affected.”
Kay was born in Lymington, Hampshire, England although he moved to Brussels, Belgium at an early age. In 2006, the family moved to Prague where he attended the International School of Prague. After having traveled for much of his early life, he now resides in Houston, Texas, which he relocated to in 2011. His first role was in Peter Webber’s Hannibal Rising (2007). Since then, he has worked with actors such as Christopher Lloyd and Ella Purnell. In 2009, he was nominated for the Young Artist Award for best performance in both Fugitive Pieces (2007) and Pinocchio (2008). He was nominated again in 2014 for a Teen Choice Award for “Choice TV: Villain” for his performance as the sinister Peter-Pan in the Once Upon a Time series. Robbie Kay’s most recent projects have included the independent romantic comedy, No Postage Necessary (2018), and the comedy-horror flick, Blood Fest (2018). We look forward to see where the young star’s career takes him next and wish him well this upcoming year. Happy Birthday, Robbie Kay!
