Rupert Sinclair Hill (born 15 June 1978) is an English actor. He is known for his roles in several soap operas.

Hill started with small roles on television. He appeared in an episode of EastEnders as Robbie's half-brother Kevin Bolton, and also played a part in a music video by the band Haven. He subsequently went into the ongoing role of Cameron Davenport in daily serial Family Affairs, a role he played from 2002 to 2004. He was then cast in Coronation Street, as Danny Baldwin's (Bradley Walsh) son Jamie Baldwin in 2004.

In July 2008, Hill appeared in five episodes of The Bill titled Gun Runner as Kieran Wallace, a small-time criminal who was eventually shot dead in the fifth and final part of the Gunrunner storyline during an attempted revenge mission armed with a MAC-10 sub-machine gun.

In 2012 Hill appeared in the British horror film 'Entity' starring alongside Dervla Kirwan and Charlotte Riley. In September 2014, Hill will begin playing the role of Guy in the touring production of The Full Monty.^[1]
