Craig Roberts
Born on 21 January 1991 in Maesycwmmer, Wales, Craig Haydn Roberts works as both an actor and a director, with screenwriting as a further dimension of his practice.
Roberts holds United Kingdom citizenship and works in the English language. His screen career encompasses both television and film, two mediums that place different demands on a performer and that together constitute the range of his acting work. Television's extended narrative structures and film's more concentrated form have both been part of his professional life as an actor.
In addition to his work in front of the camera, Roberts also functions as a director and a screenwriter. This combination of roles — performing, directing, and writing for the screen — positions him across several distinct phases of production. His engagement with screenwriting in particular points to an involvement with the shaping of material at the level of language and structure, not only its eventual performance or direction. The fact that he operates in all three capacities, in both television and film, gives a fuller picture of his place within the industry than the single label of actor would suggest.
Quotes by Craig Roberts
The damage here in Treasure Key and most of the Bahamas is minimal, ... major beach erosion.
I never wanted to be an actor until about three years ago when I realised it was what I liked doing.
I now hate actors that blink too much on screen. When people blink, I turn the movie off. So I don't blink at all.
If there are just a few seed heads out, then forget it. Manage it like you normally do. But if your field is full of seed heads, then mow it. If it rains in May or June, the new growth will be leafy and less toxic than the fields not mowed.
I'm getting a lot of stick because my character in 'Young Dracula' wanted to be vampire, so now that I am a vampire, everyone's like, 'You finally did it!' But it's cool and I loved doing 'Young Dracula.' That show's finished and I don't know why it ended, so it was brilliant to go into 'Being Human,' which is like the adult version of it.
I want to do comedy films, serious films - I admire the actors who fly under the radar but get loads done, pop up in a lot of good films.
I've done four other films since 'Submarine,' so that's quite cool. It's just good to have people respect your work; I've never had that before. Yeah, my life has changed crazy. I'm a kid from a small town in south Wales, I play my Xbox usually and all that sort of stuff, and it's a whole new world.
The 'Being Human' people were really cool and let me improvise. They had such a good working atmosphere. It was a cool set-up and a really good environment to be in.
It's a fun event -- way wet. It's one of those firefighter challenger things that grew into a sport.
