Robson Green (born December 18, 1964 in Hexham, Northumberland) is a British actor

Green first made his name in the BBC series Casualty, but came to prominence as Fusilier Dave Tucker in the drama series Soldier Soldier after a surprise number one hit. .

One episode in 1995 called for Green and co-star Jerome Flynn to sing 'Unchained Melody'. Subsequently ITV was inundated by people looking to buy the song, and the pair was persuaded by Simon Cowell to release it as a single. It stayed at No.1 for 7 weeks in UK Chart, selling more than a million copies and making it the best-selling single of the year. Subsequently they had two further #1 singles and two #1 albums, all re-makes of standards.

The song gave Green the opportunity to sign a long term deal with ITV, and star in several of the networks dramas, including Touching Evil and Reckless. In 1988 he had started his screen career, featured in Shields Stories a series of short-stories made by Amber, a film studio in the UK.

In 1996, he set up an independent production company, Coastal Productions, with business partner Sandra Jobling. The company has since produced or co-produced most of Green's television work. In 2002, Green starred as a forensic psychologist in the crime drama Wire in the Blood, he has also brought four new dramas in the last 2 years, including the massive ratings hit Christmas Lights which had viewing figures of nearly 12 million.

In September 2006, he was voted by the general public as number 35 in a poll of TV's Greatest Stars.
