Robert Ostlere is a British actor, best known for his portrayal of Arthur Digby in the medical drama Holby City.
[1] He prepared for playing a doctor in Holby City by going to a hospital with Ty Glaser and spending the day with a consultant and registrar.
He is killed by a White Walker six minutes into the episode's cold open, giving him the distinction of playing the first character ever killed on that show, which is known for its large number of character deaths.
On this, Ostlere comments, "To be honest, when you do those smaller parts, you’re just happy to see yourself up there because sometimes those things can get cut".
