Michael Anthony Robbins (14 November 1930 in London – 11 December 1992 in Caterham in Surrey) was a British actor known for his television work.
Formerly a bank clerk, he became an actor after appearing in amateur dramatic performances in Hitchin, Hertfordshire, where he and his family lived at the time.
