Young actors are now becoming a target for critics. Their game is negotiable, and talents are in doubt. But in the case of a British artist named Robbie Kay, everything happened exactly the opposite. He is charismatic, attractive, boundlessly talented and smart. We are well acquainted with his brilliant work in the series Once Upon a Time, he played no less well in the legendary film Pirates of the Caribbean 4. Well, if you want to know more about this young talent, we suggest going through his biography and remember the films with his participation.
Curriculum Vitae
Robert Andrew Kay, or just Robbie Kay was born in 1995, September 13, in the south of England. His hometown, Leamington, is located in Hampshire and serves as an important port and access to the open sea. It is worth taking note of the fact that for Robbie the topic of navigation and ships is not just interesting, it is dear to him, and this later played an important role in the formation of his career.
For a short time, the boy also lived in the north of England, in the city of Tyneside, and later his whole family emigrated to the capital of the Czech Republic - to Prague. It was there that he began to show his acting talent, get acquainted with local directors and take part in creative contests.
It is worth noting that the boy stood out from the total mass of contestants. Firstly, he was an Englishman, and secondly, many people were attracted by his non-standard and very attractive appearance.
The beginning of the creative path
It was in Prague that Robbie Kay first learned about the theater, cinema and stage. Once, on a bulletin board, a guy found a note saying that a set of children who speak English are going to shoot the film. Since this language is native for the boy, he without hesitation filed an application, and it was accepted. It was then about the legendary film "The Illusionist", which was released in 2006.
Robbie Kay got a cameo role in her, but, alas, the scenes with his participation were cut out. However, the actor decided not to despair, as he already had a lot of good acquaintances and established himself well on the set.
First screen appearances
Further, the story repeated itself, but this time his face flickered all the same in the frame. If you carefully look at such paintings as “Hannibal: Climb” and “My Boy Jack”, then Robbie can be seen in some scenes. For a very young artist, this was an achievement and a springboard for further heights.
It is important to note that after such an appearance in such cult films, a Canadian film company became interested in Kei's personality. It was her representatives who selected the young actor from among many applicants for the role of young Jacob in the legendary production of Shards (2007). The film was shot in Greece for 9 weeks and gave Robbie not only fame, but also experience.
First major roles
His key role, which became the first major role in the career of an actor, Kay received in the film "The Magic Story of Pinocchio." It is clear that he played a wooden boy there. Robbie was so convincing and at the same time sweetly coped with his work, that the character's role from fairy tales literally stuck to him and later played into the hands. Photos of Robbie Kaye instantly scattered around the world, and he became not just a talented actor, but a sought-after star and idol of many children and adolescents.
Minor but Important Roles
After the triumph of the picture about Pinocchio, the actor takes part in the filming of "Get to the Bottom in Bruges", where he plays the role of young Harry. The next picture with his participation is “Made in Dagenham”, and the film “The Path to Eternal Life” followed.
But the biggest success in the career of the young artist was the role of the young man in the historical action movie and comedy Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. Collaboration with Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz was a waking dream, and the young actor became very attached to his older colleagues. It was an unforgettable and very rewarding experience, as well as a plus for fame and recognition.
Once upon a time, in a Fairytail...
In 2011, a new TV show “Once Upon a Time” was released. The project turned out to be very intriguing, magical, interesting and non-standard, starting from the plot and ending with the acting troupe. A year later, the directors released the second season of the series, and by 2013 the third was prepared.
It was in the third part of this cult project that one of the main and key roles was played by Robbie Kay. The films in which we saw him earlier served as a good experience for the young artist, so he brilliantly coped with Pen's sinister, cunning and insidious role. Anyone familiar with this TV show will remember how he hated Peter and despised him for such low deeds. But we know that if the viewer hated the hero, then the actor brilliantly did the job.

Personal life Robbie Kaye
Many journalists believe that it is too early to talk about the personal life of such a young actor. He is exclusively passionate about his career, and if he has any sympathies, then all of them are short-lived. However, fans of the young artist for several years now have been worried about the question of whether the pretty idol has a lady of heart.
