Charlie Robson
- Actor
- Writer
When he wasn't playing football, Charlie Robson was very interested in
making films. While still in high school, he began teaming up with
Chris and Matthew Scheuerman, a pair of brothers who had been making
their own movies since childhood. Together, they crafted several short
films that gained recognition at International Student Film Festivals.
It was during the making of The Last Banana (2005) that Robson and
Chris Scheuerman began discussing a similar passion to make an
emotional boxing drama. Their discussion would eventually grow into a
full-length screenplay titled Cornered, which would evolve into 'Hope
for the Broken Contender'. Robson plunged himself into the role of Ryan
Yule with unyielding dedication, training as a boxer for several
months, slimming himself down to fighting shape. Since filming wrapped
on 'Hope for the Broken Contender', Robson has become sought after
while actively pursuing a career in Vancouver, British Columbia. His
performance in 'Hope for the Broken Contender' marked the beginning
of a promising young actor; the first glimpse of one of Canada's rising
talents.
