Robert Knox

Robert Knox (died May 24, 2008) was a British actor who was cast as Marcus Belby in the upcoming Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Tragically, only a few days after he filmed his part, 18-year-old Robert was stabbed to death outside of a pub in London suburb of Sidcup. He died defending his younger brother from an attacker who was apparently provoked by allegations of a stolen cell phone.

Robert got his start in acting with a small role on the long-running British police drama The Bill. His friends and family remember him as funny, kind, and outgoing.
