Robinhood Ferdinand Padilla, known professionally as Robin Padilla, is a Filipino actor, screenwriter, producer and director best known for his '90s action films; portraying mostly antihero characters that granted him the moniker "Bad Boy" of Philippine cinemas. He is also dubbed as "The Action Prince" or "The Prince of the Philippine Action Movies."

Padilla was born in Daet, Camarines Norte, Philippines to Casimero Roy Padilla Sr., a filmmaker, and Lolita Eva Cariño. He is also the brother of Bb Gandanghari and Rommel Padilla; uncle of Bela Padilla, Daniel Padilla and Mark Anthony Fernandez; and father of Queenie Padilla and Kylie Padilla. He is the husband of Mariel Rodriguez-Padilla.

Padilla has already been active on the silver screen during the '80s, mostly being on films produced by RCP Productions. It was during the '90s though when he started to be prominent on show business through his films with Sharon Cuneta (Maging sino ka man (1991)) and Vina Morales (Ang utol kong hoodlum (1991)).

During the 2000s, Padilla ventured on to the small screen and acted on TV series in ABS-CBN, then on GMA, until returning back to ABS-CBN during the 2010s. This was also the time when he is also acting on comedy films, while still embracing his bad boy image.

Being a household name, most would have thought that Padilla would only act on action films. But, he has proven that he is a versatile actor as he also acted in comedy, thriller, horror and drama films/TV series. He has won two best actors plum during the 2013 Metro Manila Film Festival and 2014 GMMSF Box-Office Entertainment Awards for his lead role in 10000 Hours (2013) (Joyce Bernal, 2013), a film about a Philippine senator forced to go on the run.

Also, he has a recurring stint as a judge in Pilipinas Got Talent (2010), a Philippine adaption to the Britain's Got Talent (2007) series wherein judges, like him, are searching for the most unique and talented act in the Philippines.
