Colin Salmon as Charles Robinson.

Biography: Charles Robinson often appears alongside M when Bond is being briefed or given information.

In the pre-title sequence of Tomorrow Never Dies, Robinson gives orders to Bond from a communications centre while Bond is undertaking a mission on the Russian border. He is seen again in the meeting between M and Admiral Roebuck talking about the sinking of HMS Devonshire; later Robinson assists M in briefing Bond in the car scene.

In the events of The World Is Not Enough, Robinson takes M to Turkey after Elektra King asks her to be there, not knowing it was a trap.

Robinson is not given a big role in Die Another Day but is seen in a virtual reality simulation in which he helps Bond to save M when the SIS Building is infiltrated; Robinson is shot and injured in the simulation. He is seen later in the film, in the briefing between Bond and Jinx.

Robinson was left out of the two recent James Bond films, Casino Royale and Quantum of Solace, probably because those are set before Dr No.
