British actors rarely gain world fame, except that it comes after moving to Hollywood. Mark Warren still lives in two countries, combining filming in the country of dreams and his native England. He became known for participating in several television projects in his homeland; recognition in other countries, he received much later.
Born actor
Born in 1967, Mark has been fond of acting since childhood. In high school, he entered the youth theater, where he tried the first steps as an actor. Having decided on a future profession, he goes to the school of dramatic art, but does not reach the release. At this time, Mark Warren (photo attached) tries himself on the theatrical stage. He liked to play in the play “Kes” so much that he literally asked the directors for his next work - the role in the production of “The Gospel”.
Addiction to diversity
The television start took place with episodic roles in a number of British TV series - Poirot, Heartbeat, Highlander. Realizing that it will not be possible to quickly achieve the desired results, Mark Warren agrees to almost any proposal. Despite the fact that most of his film works are of a secondary nature, the filmography of the actor includes several diverse images that he had a chance to play. So, in 1995 he appears in the drama “Boys from Boston”, and a year later - in the musical biography “Shine”.
The first recognition came in the late 90s. Then Mark Warren starred in the TV series "Vice" and "Oliver Twist", received an invitation from Tom Hanks to play in the military project "Brothers in Arms". This mini-series opened up many new stars, but Warren got a small role in several episodes. But that was enough to move on. In 2002, the actor gets the main role in the crime drama “The Boys of Al Capone” and the erotic film “Not One Night Will Be Long”. Few people know that in 1999 Mark was engaged in digital voice acting for the character of Evan McGregor from Star Wars. In the same year, an adaptation of the famous children's fairy tale “Alice through the Looking Glass” appeared on the screens. All fans of the actor were surprised to see him in an unusual way - the comical character of Trulyal.
