He completed his education from [St. Benedict's College, Colombo](/source/St._Benedict's_College%2C_Colombo) during the period that [World War II](/source/World_War_II) occurred. He took national colors for sports such as karate and gymnastics as well.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.sundaytimes.lk/090614/Magazine/sundaytimestvtimes_09.html |title=Robin: Remarkable role of action hero |publisher=The Sunday Times |access-date=11 March 2017}}</ref> After leaving school in 1963, he went to work for the Mackwood Company in Colombo.<ref name="Chan" />

==Career==
Fernando was introduced to film director [Titus Thotawatte](/source/Titus_Thotawatte) by Ariyaratne Kahawita.<ref name="Chan" /> His first role came through ''Hingana Kolla'', as an uncredited stuntman. He was chosen to film ''Chandiya'' by Ariyaratne Kahavita.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.sundaytimes.lk/020818/tv/1.html#1 | title=Robin in mood to reminisce | publisher=Sunday Times| access-date=29 November 2019}}</ref> According to Fernando, his first cinema acting came through ''Chandiya'', but it was screened in 1965 after his second film ''Dheewarayo'' was screened in 1964.<ref name=robin50years /> He has acted in more than 80 Sinhala films since his debut acting in 1965 film ''Chandiya''.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.films.lk/sinhala-cinema-artist-robin-fernando-275.html | title=Robin Fernando filmography | publisher=Sinhala Cinema Database | access-date=18 October 2017}}</ref> Until the film ''Sagarika'', Fernando starred in Thotawatte's films. Although he entered as a martial artist, he was not centered in it. His most adventurous fight scene after Chandiya was in the films ''Kapatikama'' and ''Kauda Hari''.<ref name="fighter" />

Fernando pointed out that stunt is an art when every time he gets a chance at the films like ''Bicycle Horā'', ''Ohoma Hondada'' and ''Pēnava Nēda''. The 1971 film ''Dævena Pipāsa'' made his first lead role. By that time he had shown his talent through the sub-main characters such as the role "Raja" in another 1971 film ''Hāralakṣe'' with one of his most satirical characters. Films such as ''Nivena Ginna'', ''Apēkṣā'', ''Veera Puran Appu'' were among Robin's most acclaimed films. The song "Soduru Lowata Mal Wehala" which he sang with [Geetha Kumarasinghe](/source/Geetha_Kumarasinghe) in the 1978 film ''Apeksha'' is one of the most popular songs in Sinhala cinema.<ref name="fighter" /> In that film, the terrible fight with Ranjan Mendis was also one of the most adventurous fights in Sinhala cinema. In 1983, Fernando directed his first film ''Sura Doothiyo'', which was based on real incidents. His last direction came through ''Ninja Sri Lanka''.<ref name=robin50years />

His first television acting came through Sriyani Amarasena's ''Ira Batu Tharuwa'', which was shot in England. Some of the other television serials of Robin Fernando include, ''Chandramaya'', ''Hangimuttam'', ''Paradeesaya'' and ''Damini''.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.infolanka.com/org/diary/138.html |title=Face 2 Face with Robin Fernando |publisher=Info Lanka |access-date=11 March 2017}}</ref>

==Personal life and death==
Fernando married his partner Violet Jayaweera on 14 October 1964 and they had one son: Channa and one daughter Eranthika. He met Violet in 1962.<ref name="Chan" /> Fernando died on 8 January 2022, at the age of 84. He had been receiving treatment for [Parkinson's disease](/source/Parkinson's_disease) for nearly two years.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Sri Lanka : Veteran actor Robin Fernando passes away |url=http://www.colombopage.com/archive_22A/Jan08_1641631244CH.php |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220108100306/http://www.colombopage.com/archive_22A/Jan08_1641631244CH.php |url-status=usurped |archive-date=8 January 2022 |access-date=2022-01-08 |website=www.colombopage.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-01-08 |title=Senior Actor Robin Fernando has passed away |url=https://www.newswire.lk/2022/01/08/senior-actor-robin-fernando-has-passed-away/ |access-date=2022-01-08 |website=NewsWire |language=en-US}}</ref>
