About This Quiz

You have to go all the way back to 2002 if you want to catch Craig Robinson's first appearances as an actor in a short film called "AppleJax and YoYo." In 2003 he got his break in the darkly funny FX show "Lucky" and by 2007, he was in three pretty big roles all in the same year, including "Knocked Up," "Daddy's Little Girls" and "Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story." 

From that point on, he was firmly cemented as a multi-talented actor with the chops for comedy and music and just a smooth, fun, charming delivery that makes you want to be his friend no matter what role he's playing. In fact, his "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" character plays off that affability by making him the criminal you just can't help but love no matter how many times he breaks the law. 

These days Robinson is all over the place and it's some well-deserved fame. No doubt if you're a fan you probably loved him in "The Office" or maybe in his many collaborations with Seth Rogen or James Franco. Whatever it is that got you hooked, let's find out just how much of a superfan you are with a quick quiz to test your knowledge in all things Craig Robinson.
