Singer/songwriter/actor Keith Robinson (a.k.a. Black Keith) was born in Kentucky, where he discovered his love of the arts at a young age. Singing took center stage in high school in Augusta, Georgia, and he was signed to a contract while attending the University of Georgia. Robinson was picked up by Motown Records and went on to perform with several top artists.
To put his career in high gear, Robinson decided to make a transition and move out to Los Angeles to further his singing career and try his hand at his other love, acting. His very first audition landed him the role of Joel Rawlings, the Green Ranger on one of television's highest rated children's series, Fox's Power Rangers: Lightspeed Rescue. On the heels of Power Rangers came a lead role in the NBC television movie The Princess and the Marine and the lead in the UPN pilot Save the Last Dance, based on the hit movie. Robinson then juggled a regular role on the NBC drama American Dreams with a recurring role on the UPN sitcom Half & Half. Other television roles include guest star roles on hit series such as USA's Monk, NBC's ER, and ABC's NYPD Blue; a young Christian soldier in FX's critically acclaimed Iraq war series, Over There; and a 2006 Camie Award-winning performance in The Reading Room, an original Hallmark movie starring James Earl Jones. He was most recently seen on the small screen in the CBS miniseries Comanche Moon, based on Larry McMurtry's novel, which is set for release on DVD on February 26, 2008 by Sony Pictures Home Entertainment. Robinson will next be seen on television as a regular on the weekly drama series Canterbury's Law, also starring Julianna Margulies, set to premiere on MONDAY, MARCH 10, 2008, at 8pm Eastern & Pacific/7pm Central & Mountain on Fox .
