Mitchell Robertson

Photographed by Jeremy Jakubowicz

Mitchell Robertson is a Scottish actor, born in Cumbernauld. Noticed in A Very British Scandal and Mayflies, then in Curfew, he found his breakthrough role in 2026 with Half Man, the series by Baby Reindeer creator Richard Gadd, co-produced by the BBC and HBO: he plays the young Niall opposite Stuart Campbell, while Jamie Bell and Richard Gadd play the two brothers as adults. He also founded jintyhouse, an independent production company where he writes and directs.

On 23 April 2026, the day Half Man opened Canneseries, Jeremy Jakubowicz photographed Mitchell Robertson in a private session at the Hôtel Barrière Le Majestic. In a white shirt and light trousers, he moves from his room to the balcony facing the Croisette palm trees, then to the corridor, a spiral staircase and the hotel’s mirrored staircase: a series in black and white and in colour, all restraint, like his acting.

During the same festival, Jeremy Jakubowicz also photographed Agnes O’Casey, in Cannes to present Star City, and Hiba Bennani, a member of the jury. Every year in Cannes he covers the Cannes Film Festival, where he photographed Noah Schnapp and Lucas Bravo and Alex Pettyfer in 2026.
