Working with the Doctor Who universe
Clarke played the recurring role of Mickey Smith throughout the first two series of Doctor Who since its revival. He first appeared in the pilot episode Rose. but was only considered a proper companion the following year, in School Reunion. He reprised the role twice more after the second series, in Journey's End, and The End of Time.
He also narrated the Doctor Who Confidential episode Desert Storm, and came second in The Weakest Link: Doctor Who Special.
Other work
Clarke appeared in several other television programmes, including Casualty and Metrosexuality. He had a recurring role as Wyman Norris in the revival series of Auf Wiedersehen, Pet (2002–2004). In 2003, he won the Laurence Olivier Award for "Most Promising Newcomer" for his performance in the play Where Do We Live at the Royal Court Theatre.
Clarke wrote the script for the film Kidulthood, which was released in 2006. He wrote and directed Adulthood, the film's sequel, and asked Nicholas Briggs, whom he knew from Doctor Who, to appear in it as Max.
Clarke also wrote, co-directed, and starred in the 2010 film 4.3.2.1., which also stars Doctor Who actors such as Michelle Ryan, Camille Coduri, and Nicholas Briggs. Audio actor Alexander Siddig and Emma Roberts (the daughter of Eric Roberts), and Sean Pertwee (the son of Jon Pertwee), also starred in the film.
