Bumper Robinson (born Larry C. Robinson II on June 19 1974 in Cleveland, Ohio) is an African American actor and voice artist. Robinson got his nickname as a child because he repeatedly bumped into things while running through his home as a young child.

His first acting role was an appearance in a Jell-o pudding pop commercial starring Bill Cosby. As a young child, he also appeared on Days of Our Lives.

Much of Robinson's career has consisted of playing minor, yet popular, reoccurring characters on a number of shows, most notably Clarence on Amen, Laura Winslow's suitor Daniel Wallace on Family Matters, Dorian Heywood on A Different World, and flirtatious office boy Ivan Ennis on Living Single. He has also starred in the series Sabrina, the Teenage Witch, Three, Guys Like Us, and Flatland. Robinson portrayed a young O.J. Simpson in the miniseries The O.J. Simpson Story and a young Jackie Jackson in The Jacksons: An American Dream, a role which won him a Young Artist Award for Best Young Actor in a Television Movie.

In addition, Robinson has done a significant amount of voice work, with roles in animated movies and television shows such as Scooby-Doo and the Ghoul School, Pinky and the Brain, and Futurama.
