Joseph William Robinson Harle (31 May 1927 – 3 July 2017) was an English actor, martial artist, and professional wrestler.

[4] Robinson's first role came in the keep-fit documentary Fit as a Fiddle and in the same year, 1952, he followed it up with a part as Harry 'Muscles' Green in the musical Wish You Were Here in the West End of London.

in 1960 was invited to Rome where he appeared in five muscle-bound Italian epics, including Taur the Mighty (1963), Thor and the Amazon Women (1963) and Ursus and the Tartar Princess (1961).

[4] Robinson retired from acting in the early 1970s, and lived in Brighton, where he opened a martial arts centre, conducting classes in Wadō-ryū and Judo.

[6][7] In March 1998 the 70-year-old Robinson hit the headlines after fighting off a gang of at least eight muggers single-handed when he was attacked after alighting from a bus in Cape Town; the gang struck with baseball bats and knives, but the 6 ft 2 inch-tall Robinson overpowered two with flying kicks, karate-chopped another, and broke the arm of a fourth with a punch- the rest fled.

His daughter, Polly Robinson (Hardy-Stewart), has also continued the family's success in martial arts by winning the junior Judo championships in the 1980s.

[2] Robinson's brother, Doug (1930-2021), was a well-known stunt performer who notably doubled for Telly Savalas and James Coburn.
