Robert Arthur "Rob" Knox (August 21, 1989 - May 24, 2008) was a British actor who was cast as Marcus Belby in the upcoming film adaption of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.[1] Knox had also been signed to reprise his role in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.[2]
Tragically, only a few days after he filmed his part, 18-year-old Robert was stabbed to death outside of a pub in the London suburb of Sidcup. He died defending his younger brother from an unnamed male attacker who was apparently provoked by allegations of a stolen mobile phone earlier.[3][4][5]
Robert got his start in acting with a small role on the long-running British police drama The Bill.[4]
