Colin Robinson
Mark Proksch
Mark Proksch drained the room as Colin Robinson on What We Do in the Shadows — mockumentary vampires as roommates, running gag as blood sport, Staten Island immortality as peak ensemble comedy of the cable-streaming hybrid years. The energy vampire as a workplace. TV Flash files him as 2020s deadpan craft: boredom as a bite.
Mark Proksch plays Colin Robinson on What We Do in the Shadows, the energy vampire in a Staten Island mockumentary where Nandor, Laszlo, Nadja, and poor Guillermo turn immortality into roommate sport. Running gag as blood sport, improv-adjacent timing that never winks itself to death. Proksch is the office fluorescent in a cape show: boredom as a bite, a cube-farm monster among the glamorous undead. Peak ensemble comedy of the cable-streaming hybrid years.
What We Do in the Shadows ran on FX from 2019–2024, and Mark Proksch's Colin Robinson is already a position, not a plot recap. s01e01 is the door: The pilot as roommate contract: Nandor, Laszlo, Nadja, and poor Guillermo, mockumentary vampires already treating the running gag as blood sport. Proksch is on the clock before the lore dump starts. Proksch on What We Do in the Shadows remains catalog craft on FX from 2019–2024.
Colin Robinson is the bit What We Do in the Shadows keeps needing: supporting on paper, structural in practice. The desk's later hour is s06e11. The Finale as the named close: FX's peak hybrid-years ensemble actually ending, immortality still a sitcom problem, still the decade's funniest coffin. s02e01 is the later check. Resurrection as season-two launch: the dead joking their way back, still Staten Island, still the documentary crew as the fifth roommate. Watch Proksch for the job, not the lore dump.
Vampire television as a sitcom about chores. Colin photographs as beige and plays as the series’ secret weapon. On TV Flash Proksch is 2020s catalog steel: the Robinson who made a horror-comedy feel like a workplace, then left the blood looking less important than the meeting you could not escape.
