Career
Kay’s family moved to the Czech Republic, where he saw a note for English-speaking children to be extras in a film on a school noticeboard. Despite a lack of previous acting experience, this led to him getting a speaking part in The Illusionist, but his scenes were eventually cut from the film.
After small roles in Hannibal Rising and My Boy Jack, the Canadian production company making Fugitive Pieces asked him to play the part of Young Jakob which involved a 9-week shooting schedule, three of which were on Greek islands.
The people who made Fugitive Pieces had auditioned more than 150 boys before finding 10-year-old Robbie who had been living in Prague for two years. He spent a year studying acting, singing and dancing at one of Britain’s Stagecoach theatre schools. Kay appeared in a miniseries adaptation of Pinocchio, playing the title character. After finishing Pinocchio, he went on to play Sam, a boy diagnosed with leukemia in Ways To Live Forever screening in late 2010. He appeared in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, playing the Cabin Boy. More recently, he portrayed Peter Pan in Once Upon a Time.
In March 2015, Kay was cast as a high school student named Tommy Clark in the TV series Heroes Reborn.
Reception
Kay’s work has been generally well received by the critics. Alicia Cox of Chatelaine wrote on his work in Fugitive Pieces: «Robbie Kay, who plays the young Jakob, gives a remarkable performance with little words and a lot of emotion. When he smiles (which isn’t often) you can’t help but be affected.»
Personal life
Kay was born in Lymington, Hampshire, England to Ivan and Stephanie Kay. He moved to Brussels, Belgium at an early age. He has two older sisters, Camilla and Fiona.
In 2006, Kay and his family moved to Prague in the Czech Republic, where he attended the International School of Prague. He has been living in Houston, Texas since 2011.

Малкольм, будучи ещё ребёнком, был вынужден работать до изнеможения у кузнеца, которому его продал его отец. Чтобы как-то утешить себя в эти трудные для него времена, мальчик проводил ночи, говоря себе: «Думай о хорошем», а во сне он отправлялся в сказочные земли, называемые Нетландия, где сила веры может сделать что угодно реальным. Однажды он решает использовать эту силу для того, чтобы полететь, и узнаёт о волшебной пыльце, которая растёт в цветках на вершине дерева и даёт человеку эту самую способность к полёту («Думай о хорошем»).
Когда он взрослеет, у него с Чёрной Феей появляется сын, однако, стоя перед выбором: власть или любовь — женщина выбирает власть и покидает своего сына, имя которому не дала, и Малкольма. Малкольм берёт на себя заботу о ребёнке, назвав его диковинным и мудрёным именем «Румпельштильцхен». («Подменыши»)
Его сын ещё совсем мал, и Малкольм зарабатывает на жизнь мошенничеством — так называемой игрой «Найди даму». И однажды один мужчина, поняв, что был обманут, избивает его, забирает деньги и оставляет его с сыном без гроша в кармане. После этого он на время отдаёт маленького Румпельштильцхена на попечительство двум пожилым пряхам и уходит, заверив, что это ненадолго, ведь вскоре он найдёт работу и вернётся за ним. Сын волнуется за него, и поэтому Малкольм дарит ему небольшую соломенную куклу. Он наказывает дать этой кукле имя, дабы она стала реальной и была чем-то вроде защитника мальчика. Впоследствии кукла действительно получила имя — Питер Пэн. Затем он продолжает обманывать доверчивых прохожих, только теперь уже без присутствия сына. Узнав об этом, мальчик предлагает начать им новую жизнь с помощью волшебного боба, отданного ему пряхами, и Малкольм предлагает переместиться в Нетландию. Оказавшись там, мужчина пребывает в восторге от того, что наконец оказался в мире, где всё возможно посредством силы веры, но, пытаясь показать сыну то, что здесь возможен даже полёт, понимает, что влететь не может, однако, затем он вспоминает про ту самую волшебную пыльцу и, найдя нужное дерево, вскарабкивается на него. Но пыльца не срабатывает, состоится диалог с Тенью, которая недовольна гостям. Спустившись с дерева, Малкольм позволяет Тени унести его сына обратно в Зачарованный Лес, ведь Нетландия — место только для детей, «а у детей своих детей быть не может», после чего сам превращается в мальчика-подростка, который в будущем называет себя Питером Пэном («Думай о хорошем»).
