A Journey of Resilience and Versatility

Some people slide through life without its jagged edges touching them. For others, like Robert McCrea, bad karma becomes a companion. This bad karma has sent him pinballing around the world, mostly on a motorbike! 

Rob's multifaceted career is a testament to his resilience and adaptability. As a Prison Manager, he worked with those society often wants to forget, demonstrating his commitment to rehabilitation and justice. His role as CEO supporting victims of human trafficking and modern-day slavery for the British Government showcases his dedication to humanitarian causes and his ability to lead in challenging environments.

An experienced presenter, public speaker, and actor, Rob has worked at the coalface in diverse locations such as Siberia, Croatia, the USA, Belgium, France, Brazil, and the UK. Trained at Bretton Hall, with The League of Gentlemen as his peers, Rob's talent and versatility have earned him roles in numerous acclaimed productions. You can find him in "Aeronauts", "Britannia", "Jagame Thandhiram", "Mind Over Matter", "The Astonishing Adventures of Alfred Witcher Season 2", "House of the Dragon", "The Great", and many more.

Today, Rob divides his time between acting, producing, being an in-demand public speaker, teaching, and senior management mentoring. His passion for motorbikes spans over 37 years, and he continues to ride each and every day, currently on a ZZR1400, ZXR with 200 horses!
