Robin Krieger

About Robin...

Robin has been acting (or “acting up”!) since about the age of 2. Her ‘professional career’ began sometime later - Born and raised in LA, pursued her craft both here and abroad; received her Bachelor of Arts Degree in Drama from the University of California at Irvine having spent her junior year at the University of Sussex, England.

Returning to England, she worked both onstage and backstage in Regional and London’s West End Theatres in such productions as Gypsy (at the Piccadilly Theatre), Bartholomew Faire, Ubu Roi and the world premiere of Coral/West in the role of ‘Coral’.

An accomplished comedienne, TV sitcoms soon became her forte. Robin has been a guest actor on numerous Emmy-winning shows including The Bernie Mac Show, Friends, Frasier, Malcolm in the Middle, Married with Children, Murphy Brown and Cheers. Also as a regular voice-over artist on Frasier throughout the show’s ten years on the air, ranging anywhere from troubled callers to the ‘radio station’ to TV characters and answering machine messages, Jane Leeves referred to her as “part of the repertory company.” She is also known for her recurring role as ‘Marilyn Crannis’, Jim’s neighbor on According to Jim. She has countless other TV appearances to her credit such as dramas NYPD Blue and Presidio Med. Film credits include A Night at the Roxbury with Will Ferrell, Lured Innocence with Dennis Hopper and The Perfect Bride to name a few.

When not in front of the camera, Robin is often back onstage in and around LA. She was a member of Actors’ Alley where she appeared in many productions, including critically acclaimed ‘Bunny’ in The House of Blue Leaves and ‘Jan’ in Bedroom Farce. She was also asked to join Moving Arts Theatre Company appearing in several new works by local playwrights. Also to her credit, the “interactive wedding” Frankie and Mia Tie the Knot as the very pregnant wedding coordinator, ‘Chanel’.

Recently, Robin Starred in How our In-Laws Ruined our Wedding, at the Fremont Centre Theatre, as 'Barbara', Mother of the Bride...after an eight-week run to rave reviews.

"...Director, Jackie Apodaca, skillfully guided this troupe of veteran stage and television Actors, making this a wonderful evening of Theatre... I highly recommend, “How our In-Laws ruined our Wedding.” It’s a total hoot and I think I’ll see it again if I’m ever feeling down." - L.A. Splash Magazine Read Full Review

"...Meg's parents, Barbara (Robin Krieger) and Lou (Steve Ryan), are a battling urban pair, and they like it that way. Barbara sprinkles her New York Italian with Yiddishisms... Hale and Krieger are perfectly poisonous as the mothers-in-law... This is a classic door-slamming farce, pushing all the buttons of disappointed expectations, plot twists, and happy endings. However, it is engaging and entertaining, thanks largely to terrific performances..." - Backstage West Read Full Review
