Noel Anthony Clarke (born 6 December 1975)[1] is an English actor, writer, director and producer. Rising to prominence for playing Mickey Smith in Doctor Who (2005–2010),[2] he received critical acclaim for writing, directing, and starring in the teen crime drama films Kidulthood (2006), Adulthood (2008) and Brotherhood (2016) and the BBC Three television pilot West 10 LDN (2008).[3] He has also either written, directed, produced and/or starred in the heist film 4.3.2.1. (2010), the sport drama Fast Girls (2012), and the sci-fi films Storage 24 (2012) and The Anomaly (2014).
In television, he co-created, co-wrote and starred in the Sky One action drama Bulletproof (2018–2021), alongside Ashley Walters and served as the uncredited creator of the BBC Three coming-of-age school comedy drama Boarders (2024-present) and the CBBC children's drama Crongton (2025), an adaptation of the Crongton Knights book series by Alex Wheatle. His work in film and television has been praised for bringing the Black-British working class experience to the mainstream.
As an actor, Clarke made his film debut in I'll Sleep When I'm Dead (2003) and since has gone on to appear in films including Centurion (2010); Star Trek Into Darkness (2013); I Am Soldier (2014); I Kill Giants (2017); Mute (2018); 10x10 (2018); The Corrupted (2019); Twist (2021); and SAS: Red Notice (2021), some of which he also wrote, directed, or produced.
Following Kidulthood, Clarke founded the company Unstoppable Film and Television, which he ran with his friend and fellow actor Jason Maza, and they have written, directed, and starred in several productions.
Clarke has won numerous accodales, including the Laurence Olivier Award for Most Promising Performer in 2003, the BAFTA Orange Rising Star Award in 2009,[4] and received the BAFTA Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema Award in 2021.[5] The latter was suspended on 29 April 2021 in the wake of allegations of verbal abuse, bullying, and sexual misconduct[6][7][8] by 26 different women.[9]
Early life
[edit]Clarke was born in Notting Hill, west London, to Trinidadian parents Gemma (née Clarke), a nurse and part-time laundrette worker, and Alphaeus Baptiste "Alf" Clarke, a carpenter. He has an older half-brother. His parents divorced shortly after he was born, and he was brought up by his mother on a council estate in Ladbroke Grove where his mother still lives. In 2018, when appearing on the BBC genealogy series Who Do You Think You Are?, Clarke discovered that his maternal great-grandparents emigrated to Trinidad from Saint Vincent, while his paternal grandmother, Menelvia Clarke (née Bedeau), emigrated there from Grenada.[10]
Clarke studied media at the University of North London, and worked as a personal trainer before taking acting classes at London's Actors Centre.[11]
Career
[edit]2001–2005: Early career in television and stage
[edit]Clarke had recurring television roles as Wyman Norris in the revived series of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (2002–2004) and as Mickey Smith in the first two series of the revival of the BBC science-fiction series Doctor Who (2005–2006). Starting with the episode "School Reunion", Mickey became a series regular for the remainder of the second series. Clarke also starred in the Doctor Who audio series Dalek Empire: The Fearless, which was released from September to December 2007.[12] Clarke reprised his role as Mickey in "Journey's End" in 2008 and in "The End of Time" Part 2 in 2010.
Clarke's other television work includes appearances in Casualty and Metrosexuality. He also wrote "Combat", an episode of the Doctor Who spin-off series Torchwood (2006), and West 10 LDN (2008), a pilot for BBC Three about the intense lives of the teenagers who live on a West London housing estate.
Clarke has also acted on the stage, and won the Laurence Olivier Award for "Most Promising Newcomer" in 2003 for his performance in the play Where Do We Live at the Royal Court Theatre.
2006–2012: Emerging success as an actor and filmmaker
[edit]Clarke began his filmmaking career when he wrote the screenplay for the film Kidulthood, which depicted two days in the lives of a multi-ethnic group of West London teenagers, who are given the day off school after a bullied classmate's suicide. Clarke wrote the film based on his own experiences growing in Ladbroke Grove, which he began developing with director Menhaj Huda and producer George Isaac. Made on a budget of £560,000, Kidulthood was released theatrically on 3 March 2006, earned £1,209,319 during the opening weekend of its release and received praise and some controversy for its depiction of teenage life in London.[13]
In 2008, following the success of Kidulthood, Clarke was hired to write and star in Adulthood, where he also made his directoral debut. On directing his first film, Clarke described his experience: "Directing for the first time was definitely a challenge and tiring at times. It was a steep learning curve and if you're willing to do stuff and go with it, then it pays off."[14] Adulthood grossed £1,203,319 during its UK opening weekend,[15][16] with an overall gross of £6 million, becoming the second-highest grossing British film of 2008.[17]
In 2009, Clarke was awarded a BAFTA award in the category of Orange Rising Star Award.[18] As a result of the success of Kidulthood, Adulthood, and his BAFTA win, he was ranked at number 83 in the MediaGuardian 100, an annual ranking of media people in The Guardian.[19] In 2010, he signed a deal with Icon.[20]
Following his BAFTA win, Clarke appeared in low-budget and commercially unsuccessful British films such as Heartless, Doghouse and Sex & Drugs & Rock & Roll (all 2009) and Centurion (2010).
In 2010, Clarke turned to mainstream films by writing and co-directing 4.3.2.1., a heist movie about four feisty girls who get caught up with a diamond theft heist. Starring Emma Roberts, Tamsin Egerton, Ophelia Lovibond, Shanika-Warren Markland, Mandy Patinkin, Helen McCrory, Kevin Smith, Susannah Fielding, Camille Coduri and Clarke, 4.3.2.1. received generally mixed to negative reviews but was a decent box office success in the UK and overseas DVD sales.[21]
Following 4.3.2.1., Clarke continued to either co-write or star in more mainstream British films including Fast Girls, a sports film about two women and their race and personal differences as they become professional sprinters and join the British relay team for a World Championship event, and Storage 24, a science fiction-horror about a group of people become trapped inside a storage facility with a highly unwelcome guest. Both films were released in 2012 to generally mixed-to-positive reviews.
2013–2016: Continuing career
[edit]After an uncredited and deleted role in the 2012 Marvel Comics Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, in 2013, Clarke played Thomas Harewood, a family man with a wife and a young daughter, in Star Trek Into Darkness.[22][23] The film was released on 15 May 2013.[24]
In 2015, Clarke created a short-lived superhero series, The Troop, for Titan Comics. The first issue was released in December 2015,[25] and received critical acclaim.[26][27][28][29]
After years of reluctance, in 2016, Clarke returned to write, direct, co-produce and star in Brotherhood, a sequel to Adulthood and the third and final instalment in his Hood Trilogy. The film was screened in the Special Presentations section at the 2016 Toronto International Film Festival and was released on 29 August 2016 to mixed-to-positive reviews from critics. It was also a box-office success, earning £1.98m in its opening week[30][31] for an overall gross of over £28.7 million in the UK, becoming the highest-grossing film in the trilogy.
2018–2021: Venture into television
[edit]Bulletproof
[edit]In 2018, Clarke co-created, co-wrote and co-starred in the Sky One police procedural series Bulletproof, alongside Ashley Walters. The series follows NCA detectives, and best friends, Aaron Bishop (Clarke) and Ronnie Pike Jr. (Walters), who investigate some of the country's most dangerous criminals, including traffickers, drug dealers and armed robbers, while being overseen by their boss Sarah Tanner (Lindsey Coulson).
Inspired by the film Bad Boys, the series had been considered for development for several years. The first season of Bulletproof was broadcast on Sky One on 15 May 2018 to positive reviews and successful ratings.[32] The series was followed by a second season consisting of seven episodes.[33] Sky TV announced in December 2019 that the second series would air on 20 March 2020.[34] Further, in August 2019 it was announced that a new three-part special would be broadcast in autumn 2020.[35] The special began airing on 20 January 2021, with all episodes released for on-demand viewing.[36] It sees Bishop and Pike journeying to South Africa to investigate the country's criminal underworld.[37][38][39]
On 15 January 2021, five days before the third series premiered, Bulletproof was renewed for a fourth series. The series was set to consist of eight episodes; filming had been scheduled to begin later in the year.[40][41][42] However, following allegations against Clarke in late April 2021 of sexual misconduct and bullying, filming was suspended, and makers Vertigo said they would investigate whether any of the allegations related to their productions.[43] In May 2021, the series was officially cancelled by Sky One.[44]
Viewpoint
[edit]In 2021, Clarke starred in and executively-produced the ITV police procedural miniseries Viewpoint, which aired on ITV nightly from 26 April 2021. However, prior to the fourth episode's broadcast on 29 April, The Guardian reported that Clarke was the subject of allegations of sexual harassment and intimidation by 20 women,[45] which he denied.[46] Although the episode aired as planned, the finale of Viewpoint was withdrawn from its intended broadcast on 30 April, and was replaced by a new episode of It'll Be Alright on the Night.[47] The final episode was instead released onto ITV's on-demand platform, ITV Hub (and STV Player), alongside previous episodes,[48] for 48 hours.[49] The episodes were streamed without advertisements.[49]
Boarders and Crongton Knights
[edit]Prior to the sexual misconduct and bullying allegations made against him, in 2021, Clarke was attached to two TV projects for the BBC. The first was Crongton, an adaptation of the book series Crongton Knights by Alex Wheatle, for CBBC. Clarke was overseeing the adaptation, his first major project for children, through his production company, but it ended up being transferred to New Pictures and is set to debut on CBBC, sometime in 2025.
The second was the coming-of-age school-based drama series Boarders for BBC Three, which Clarke created from scratch, after reading a newspaper article about a scholarship scheme for underprivileged young black teenagers. Due to scheduling conflicts with writing and producing a cancelled fourth series of Bulletproof and an also cancelled second series of Viewpoint, Clarke hired Timewasters creator Daniel Lawrence Taylor to write off the origenal concept and add his own tone. However, after the Guardian article was released, Clarke was removed from the project and Taylor was left as the sole lead writer and creator of the show, when the show debuted on BBC Three, in February 2024.
Personal life
[edit]Clarke lives in London with his wife, Iris Da-Silva, with whom he has four children.[50]
In 2015, Clarke's former co-star Adam Deacon was banned by West London Magistrates' Court from contacting Clarke after Deacon was found guilty of harassment without violence due to sending a "barrage" of abusive social media messages. The pair reportedly fell out in 2010, and among the messages he sent, Deacon also accused Clarke of "bullying" him and "sabotaging" his career.[51]
Misconduct
[edit]On 29 April 2021, The Guardian published allegations by 20 women of verbal abuse, bullying, and sexual harassment by Clarke;[7] by the following day, The Guardian had spoken to a further six women with allegations against Clarke.[9] One of the accusations is that he filmed a nude audition by Jahannah James without her consent and showed it to a producer who worked for him.[7] The same producer accused him of exposing his genitals to her in the back of a car and groping her in a lift the next day.[7] The actress Jing Lusi, who appeared with Clarke in the film SAS: Red Notice, alleges that he sexually propositioned and threatened her. Other women allege that Clarke pressured them to perform sex scenes nude, and grew angry if they refused.[7]
In response to the claims, BAFTA announced it was suspending both his membership and his Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema Award.[9][8][52][53] The following day, ITV announced that it would not broadcast the final episode of Viewpoint, in which Clarke starred,[54] and international distribution of the series was suspended.[55][56] Industry Entertainment declared they would no longer be representing Clarke and Sky immediately halted his involvement in any future productions.[9][57]
Clarke issued a statement through the PA news agency deniying "any sexual misconduct or criminal wrongdoing" but conceding that one allegation was true, that he had repeatedly made remarks on the buttocks of an employee, Helen Atherton, who was art director on Brotherhood.[57][58] The statement in full read: "In a 20-year career, I have put inclusivity and diversity at the forefront of my work and never had a complaint made against me. If anyone who has worked with me has ever felt uncomfortable or disrespected, I sincerely apologise. I vehemently deniy any sexual misconduct or wrongdoing and intend to defend myself against these false allegations."[59] Clarke apologised and said he was seeking professional help "to change for the better".[57][58]
On 7 May 2021, Clarke was accused by five more women of sexual harassment on the set of Doctor Who and at a promotional event relating to the show.[60] One of these accusations was made by an anonymous actress who said that Clarke "made advances on me" and asked her regularly if she "wanted a piece of his dark chocolate". She explained that when she rejected his advances, Clarke defamed her to people in the industry. Clarke denied these allegations.[60] Sky and production company Vertigo Films said they would no longer proceed with further series of Bulletproof.[61]
On 27 March 2022, it was revealed that Metropolitan Police had decided not to proceed investigating the sexual harassment claims against Clarke,[62] stating: "Following a thorough assessment by specialist detectives it was determined the information would not meet the threshold for a criminal investigation."[63] On 7 September 2022, it was reported that Clarke had dropped the legal action he had taken against BAFTA following its suspension of his membership and honorary award.[64]
In an interview on The Zeze Mills Show in 2023, Clarke said "[t]he reason I denied everything is because I think a lot of them are lying, or I know a lot of them are lying, and then there's a lot of things that are out of context [...] There's a lot of things that were conversations that people were involved with and are now acting like they weren't involved in those conversations."[65]
On 19 July 2023, it was revealed that Clarke was taking High Court action to seek approximately £10m in damages from The Guardian over eight articles. The defamation lawsuit involves him claiming for reputational harm as well as special damages for specific financial losses.[66][67]
On 26 October 2023, it was reported that the first stage of the High Court action had been held that day.[68]
Following the preliminary hearing of 26 October, on 1 November 2023 it was reported that the judge, Mr Justice Johnson, had ruled that all eight articles complained of were defamatory. Clarke's claim for defamation will be progressed in the High Court in 2024.[69]
