Robert Whitelock was born in 1972. As a teenager he became extremely interested in graffiti art but chose instead to become an actor, spending three years at RADA before joining the Royal Shakespeare Company. He began lecturing on art in 2009 and founded Monokrome Publishing Company in 2010, co-authoring with Aaron Munday the book Monokrome - World Class Graffiti Design in Black and White. Memorably on stage he appeared in the production of The 39 Steps which cast a handful of actors in multiple roles. On television he has appeared in a host of popular dramas , from playing a murder suspect - who is also an author - in 'Midsomer Murders' to a Satanist masquerading as a scout master in 'Misfits'.
