Born in Vidlin in the Shetland Islands, Steven Robertson overcame severe dyslexia to be named Student of the Year at Fife College in Kirkcaldy in recognition of his 'journey travelled'. After completing college he came to London to study drama at the Guildhall acting school, becoming the first Shetlander to be accepted there. In 2004 he was nominated for an Ian Charleson Award for his role in Chekhov's 'The Seagull' and has subsequently reached wider audiences with his film performances.
