Robert McCafferty

We are extremely excited to announce ROBERT MCCAFFERTY as being cast in the series role of COLIN THE CARETAKER. 

Robert comes to us with a wealth of experience in both television and film.  His television credits include INBETWEENERS, EASTENDERS, DOCTORS and CASUALTY.  He has also featured in numerous films including CLOSED (2013), THE WEE MAN (2013) and LOVE TYPE D (2019).  Furthermore, Robert is an accomplished theatre actor, with multiple credits to his name.

As a youngster Robert performed at school in anything that was going on and used this experience at his local amateur Dramatics company, The Livingston Players at The Mews Theatre in his home town of Livingston near Edinburgh. Performing in Charlie Girl the Director was very impressed and sowed the seed for considering acting as a profession as she said he had real talent.  Sadly, home life was such that this dream had to be put on the back burner until much later in life. When his marriage failed, Robert took the opportunity to follow his ambition to become a professional Actor in his early thirties.

With young children to care for Robert pursued a 3 Year Degree course at the University of Hertfordshire. The course had a number of very experienced theatre practitioners running a multitude of course that covered all areas of Theatre practice and some Film work. One of these was the, at the time well respected, Max Stafford Clark, passing on his vast experience.

These contacts also created opportunities to perform a number of times at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, which was excellent additional experience. Continuing in Developing performance skills further by attending many courses at The Actors Centre and an Advanced Film and Television Acting Course at RADA with Colin Bennett.
