BiographyNoel Anthony Clarke (born 6 December 1975) is a former English actor, writer, director, and producer. Rising to prominence for playing Mickey Smith in Doctor Who (2005–2006, 2008, 2010), he received critical acclaim for writing, directing, and starring in the teen crime drama films Kidulthood (2006), Adulthood (2008), and Brotherhood (2016). He has also either written, directed, produced 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). He co-created, co-wrote and starred alongside Ashley Walters in the Sky One action drama Bulletproof (2018–2021). 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 won numerous accolades, including the Laurence Olivier Award for Most Promising Performer in 2003 and the BAFTA Orange Rising Star Award in 2009, and received the BAFTA Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema Award in 2021.

In April 2021, twenty-six women raised allegations of verbal abuse, bullying, and sexual misconduct by Clarke. His BAFTA Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema Award, announced in March 2021, was suspended shortly afterwards, and not reinstated. In 2025, a High Court judgement in a libel case Clarke brought against The Guardian found that the allegations of sexual misconduct were "substantially true".
