Iain Robertson

Iain Robertson (born 27 May 1981) is a Scottish former actor and convicted sex offender. He appeared in the films Small Faces (1996) and The Debt Collector (1999), as well as the television series Grange Hill, Rab C. Nesbitt and Band of Brothers.

In 2026, Robertson was convicted of multiple historical sexual offences, receiving a nine-year prison sentence.

Iain Robertson grew up in a family of seven in a tenement in Govan, Glasgow. He held no thoughts of becoming an actor until a primary school teacher pointed out his potential for drama. Robertson has said, "growing up in Govan put fire in my belly, made me push harder and also appreciate the things that have come my way."

At the age of 11, Robertson joined a local dramatic arts group. He set about producing his own play, co-written and directed by his friends. At 12, he won a scholarship to the Sylvia Young Theatre School in London.

Robertson then appeared in British dramas Kavanagh Q.C., Silent Witness, and Bramwell. In 1995, Gillies Mackinnon cast him as the lead in the feature film Small Faces.

Robertson portrayed Craig Stevenson in the paranormal drama series Sea of Souls. He appeared in the sequel Basic Instinct 2 (2006), alongside American actress Sharon Stone. During a prolific period, he took parts in the thriller The Contractor (2007) with Wesley Snipes and joined the cast of Rab C. Nesbitt returning to the streets of his youth.

In 2011, Robertson starred with Simon Callow and Harry Enfield in the feature-length film Acts of Godfrey, a British comedy written entirely in verse.

Robertson appeared as Spanky in a revival of John Byrne's Slab Boys trilogy, and as Romeo in Romeo and Juliet at the Citizens' Theatre. In 2009, he performed at the Lyceum Theatre in Edinburgh, in a theatre adaptation of James Hogg's "Confessions of a Justified Sinner".
