Craig Robinson

Before making his way into the spotlight, Craig Robinson found his footing performing stand-up comedy gigs and open-mic sessions. With his sense of humor and improvisational skills, these stints on stage eventually led him to appear in shows, including spots on late-night programs such as Jimmy Kimmel Live. Not long after, he was able to land small roles in shows such as Friends and Arrested Development.

Today, even to viewers who don’t know him very well, Robinson is frequently made to play the show/movie’s comic relief – and he’s pretty good at it. After having had many roles, his popularity rose to an even higher degree when he took on the part of Darryl Philbin in The Office. His other show-stealing roles are for shows such as Brooklyn Nine-Nine, This Is the End, and Hot Tub Time Machine. Besides comedy, however, Robinson can also do drama, as evidenced by his highly-acclaimed performance in the 2016 film Morris from America.
