More About Hot Actor Marlon Clarke

By Madeline Finch


Canada has given the world some incredibly talented actors throughout the years. Stars like Dan Aykroyd, Jim Carrey, Hayden Christensen, Michael J Fox, Brendan Fraser, Ryan Gosling, Mike Myers, Matthew Perry, Christopher Plummer, Keanu Reeves, William Shatner, Donald and Kiefer Sutherland and Alan Thicke all hail from this vast country in North America. Another Canadian actor who is starting to make his mark is Masimba Marlon Clarke.

Even though he was born in the Manitoba city of Winnipeg, Marlon lived in Trinidad and Tobago until he was five. The Clarke family then returned to Canada, once again settling in Winnipeg. When the boy was ten years old, the Clarkes moved again, this time to the province of Ontario to live in bustling Toronto.

During his high-school years in Canada's largest city, the young Marlon discovered the joys of acting. He became a Drama major and was on stage in various school productions. To help him hone his craft, he enrolled in extracurricular acting classes too.

After graduating from high school, the actor-to-be enrolled in college. Even though he studied journalism, his true destiny would remain acting. In the last year of the Nineties he got his diploma and then started working on following his star.

Two years after graduating, the actor landed his first role in a movie. It was an independent horror film called 'Massacre Up North' and was written and directed by Paul Stoichevski. Marlon had a small role as a policeman in this story about a burn victim who takes violent revenge on all those who had made fun of his appearance since his accident years before.

At the dawn of the millenium, The Tragically Hip, a very popular rock band from Canada, recorded their seventh studio album. In the video for the single 'My Music at Work', the sexy young man showed that he's not only a talented actor, but has got the moves too. He is one of the bored-looking 'office workers' who gets up and starts dancing to the music.

Marlon also made a guest appearance in an episode of the award-winning Canadian television series 'This is Wonderland'. Set in Toronto and especially in its Old City Hall, the series was a legal comedy-drama that was aired in Canada to great critical acclaim, with Cara Pifko in the lead role as a committed criminal lawyer. The actor from Winnipeg starred in an episode of the third season of this popular series, playing the role of 'Omar number 2'.

At five feet and nine inches, Marlon Clarke not only acts, but models too. His acting skills have helped him portray different characters in print advertisements, including ones for sportswear giant Adidas, the airline caterers and restaurant chain Cara Foods, a digital media company called Captivate Network, Staples and Jackson Hewitt Tax Services. You can also admire the man's looks in print ads for the Canadian Blood Services as well as the Liquor Control Board of Ontario.
