The filmography of English actor Robert Bathurst comprises both film and television roles spanning 30 years. Bathurst made his acting debut for television in 1982 in "The Black Adder", the never-broadcast pilot episode for the BBC sitcom Blackadder, though his character of Prince Henry was recast when the series The Black Adder was commissioned. Into the 1990s, Bathurst gained wider recognition from television audiences, first as writer Mark Taylor in Joking Apart from 1991 to 1995, then as David Marsden in Cold Feet from 1997 to 2003 and again from 2016. In the early 2000s, Bathurst starred in a succession of one-off television dramas before taking the role of British prime minister Michael Phillips in the sitcom My Dad's the Prime Minister. Throughout the rest of the decade, he appeared in episodes of New Tricks, Agatha Christie's Poirot, and Kingdom, and played Mark Thatcher in Coup!, a fact-based drama. Alongside his television and film roles, Bathurst has developed a theatre career. He appeared in several Cambridge Footlights Revues between 1977 and 1981, and co-directed the 1978 Footlights pantomime with Martin Bergman. (Full list...)
