From Wybie in Coraline to the hospital in The Night Shift.

Growing up across film and television

Robert Bailey Jr. began working as a performer in childhood. His screen career includes film, television and voice acting, with roles that have taken him from childhood characters to an ensemble medical drama.

His early screen credits include Mission to Mars and Dragonfly. He also appeared in M. Night Shyamalan’s The Happening, before voicing Wyborne ‘Wybie’ Lovat in Henry Selick’s stop-motion film Coraline (2009).

Wybie is Coraline’s neighbour and an uneasy first friend in her new surroundings. Bailey’s voice gives the curious boy a lively presence beside Coraline as the story shifts between ordinary and uncanny worlds.

On television, Bailey played Dr. Paul Cummings in The Night Shift, remaining a series regular for four years. He later appeared in the mystery drama Emergence, extending a career that began in childhood into adult ensemble roles.
