The Stairs of Robbie's childhood home were his Atlantic sea wall that he scaled with toy Tommy Gun in Hand, acting out scenes from Saving Private Ryan and The Cruel Sea. His life since has been consumed by the study of Military History & Film.
Childhood Robbie- Fascinated behind the true history of what he saw on screen, set out on a mission to research as much as possible, later joining a Great War living History group. It was in this group he was given the opportunity to gain a supporting cast appearance on CBBCs ‘Horrible Histories’.
After pursuing studies in Media, Film & Drama. Studying the methods of acting allowed him to further understand on screen performances, but the history bug continued to nibble away at the back of his mind.
Graduating in Drama and Performing Arts from Staffordshire University in 2015, Robbie combined his knowledge, aiding on small scale film productions as Historical advisor & scripting a 10 part WW2 Alt Fiction audio series.
His YouTube channel RM Military History began as a way of sharing his research and thoughts with like-minded people – Which is how he met now Fighting on Film co-host Matthew Moss!
"I’m so glad we took the plunge, plugged in our microphones and started Fighting On Film.
The response has been overwhelming and we have been honoured to have guests such as the esteemed Peter Caddick-Adams & Comedian Al Murray join us to talk about their favourite War films.
Please take the time to subscribe to both of our channels and catch up on the latest episode of the podcast. If you love what we do as much as us please consider supporting the podcast on Patreon, Thank you." - Message from Robbie
