Jonno Roberts started his career with the Free Theatre, New Zealand's oldest avant-garde theatre company. From there he trained and performed at the Moscow Arts Theatre and at the Institute for Advanced Theatre Training at Harvard University. He has performed in plays throughout Europe and Russia. Resident in the US since 1999, Jonno has been seen on-Broadway (in the Tony-Award winning "Take Me Out") and off (most notably as the paranoid Gulf War veteran Peter Evans in the hit play "Bug"), and in numerous productions at major regional theaters. His performance as Benedick in "Much Ado About Nothing" at Boston's Commonwealth Shakespeare Company was seen by more than 85,000 audience members and garnered him a Best Actor nomination at the New England IRNE awards, and he has established himself around the US as a leading interpreter of Shakespearean roles. His film and television roles have been many and varied: he played a villain on Xena, evil twins on the soap opera As The World Turns, Serbian terrorists, rock stars, lawyers, surfers, escaped convicts, and even a trans-sexual post-Apocalyptic pimp.

Outside of acting, his interests are varied - he has been a rodeo clown; rode a Vespa up and down the Western states from Southern California to Canada; traveled extensively throughout SouthEast Asia and the Pacific; and came third in the highly dangerous "Broadway Bomb", an underground, unsanctioned skateboard race through eight miles of midday New York traffic, among other adventures. He married his wife in her hilltop village in Greece, and they and their dog now split their time between New York and Los Angeles, where he is busy trying to resurrect a vintage Japanese motorcycle in the hope of circumnavigating the US on it in 2009.
