Robson Golightly Green (born 18 December 1964) is an English actor, singer-songwriter, and television presenter.

His first major TV role was as hospital porter Jimmy Powell in BBC drama series Casualty in 1989.

In 1997 he played a young doctor, ‘Owen Springer’, who is having an affair with the wife (Francesca Annis) of his adulterous surgeon boss (Michael Kitchen) in the TV series “Reckless”.

Robson Golightly Green was born on 18 December 1964 in Dilston Hospital in Hexham, Northumberland, and grew up in Dudley, a small mining village south of Cramlington.

Green left school aged 16 with five O-levels, and joined Swan Hunter's shipyard as a draughtsman.

Subsequently, ITV was inundated by people wanting to buy the song and the pair were persuaded by Simon Cowell to release it as a single – a double A-side with "White Cliffs of Dover".

[9] The song gave Green the opportunity to sign a long-term deal with ITV to star in several of the network's dramas, including Touching Evil, Grafters and Reckless.

The company has since produced or co-produced most of Green's television work, as well as local productions at the Theatre Royal in Newcastle upon Tyne.

Green's production company has brought at least four new dramas to the small screen in recent years, including the massive ratings hit Christmas Lights.

[10] In 1995, Green won the Smash Hits Poll Winner's Party award for Favourite TV Actor.

In July 1998, Green received an honorary degree from the University of Northumbria and, in September 2006, he was voted by the UK general public at No.

In 2000, Green starred with James Bolam, Susan Jameson, Kerry Ann Christiansen and Jamie Bell in the ITV drama Close and True.

In December 2002, he released his first solo album, Moment in Time, which was composed of cover versions (including the song "Me and Mrs. Jones").

During 2009, while promoting the second series on BBC Breakfast, Green claimed that 90% of all coarse fish caught by anglers die.

This rapidly caused an angry response from coarse fishing anglers in the UK who believed this comment to be unsubstantiated and potentially damaging to the sport.

Since 2014, he has portrayed Geordie Keating in the ITV drama series Grantchester,[16] starring alongside James Norton and later Tom Brittney.

[19] It is being rumoured as of 2022 that Green alongside Mark Benton will be reuniting as Colin and Howie for another series of Northern Lights.

Green was introduced to occupational therapist Alison Ogilvie by his close friend, television director Andrew Gunn.
