Biography

Noel Anthony Clarke was born in 1975 in London and as such is born and bred. He attended St. Charles Sixth Form College and first came to our attention in the Channel 4 production Metrosexuality, filmed right here in the heart of Nottinghill.

In 2002 he appeared in the play ’Where Do We Live’, directed by Richard Wilson, exploring the effects of September 11th on New York. In 2003 he was awarded the Laurence Olivier Award for ’Most Promising Newcomer’, for his performance as ’Shed’ in this production.

Alongside Metrosexuality, he has appeared in several television productions, including Auf Wiedersehen, Pet, Doctor Who, A Touch of Frost and Holby City.

As well as appearing in front of the camera, Clarke is a keen writer, something that he has pursued since school. Most notably he wrote the screenplay for the film Kidulthood, released in 2006 and became a member of the writing team of the Doctor Who spin-off series Torchwood.
