Robert Brydon Jones MBE (/ˈbraɪdən/; born May 3, 1965) is a Welsh actor, comedian, impressionist, presenter, singer and writer. He played Dr Paul Hamilton in the Australian/British comedy series Supernova, Bryn West in the BBC sitcom Gavin & Stacey and Keith Barret in the BBC comedy series Marion and Geoff and its spin-off The Keith Barret Show.

He has appeared in a number of shows for the BBC with Steve Coogan, including The Trip series in 2010, released as a feature film later that year; this was followed by The Trip to Italy in 2014, The Trip to Spain in 2017, and The Trip to Greece in 2020, also edited and released as feature films.
