Robert Alastair Addie (10 February 1960–20 November 2003) was an English actor who was best known for playing Sir Guy of Gisburne in the television series Robin of Sherwood.
He was educated at Marlborough College, leaving at 16 to join the National Youth Theatre. He left there in 1978 to study at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art (RADA), which, in turn, he left in 1980, to appear in John Boorman’s film Excalibur as Mordred. In 1989 Robert left acting, but returned to his acting career in 1995. Sometime during his youth, he trained as a professional polo player and worked on a ranch in Argentina. He was renowned as a genuinely expert and experienced horseman and was an accomplished swordsman and former competitive archer.
Addie was married and divorced three times. He had three children: Alexander, Alastair and Kaitlin. He died on 20 November 2003, aged 43, after a short battle with lung cancer.
