Marc Warren (born 20 March 1967) is an English actor.
He is probably best known for his role as Danny Blue in the 2004 British TV series Hustle.
[edit] Career
Warren is also known for his roles as Dougie Raymond in the hard hitting British television series The Vice, Albert Blithe in HBO's blockbuster mini-series Band of Brothers. His first television role was in the long running British television series Grange Hill.
In June 2006 he played the character of Elton Pope in an episode of Doctor Who titled Love & Monsters. This was a return to the show for Warren, as one of his earliest TV roles was as an uncredited extra in the 1989 Doctor Who story Battlefield. In December 2006 he appeared as the crazed assassin Mr. Teatime, in Sky One's adaptation of Hogfather by Terry Pratchett. The same month he played Count Dracula in a new adaptation of Bram Stoker's classic novel, produced by ITV Productions for BBC Wales. The episode, which aired in December, received viewing figures of 5.23 million. [1] In 2007 he appeared as casino-operating villain Tony Crane in the second series of BBC drama Life on Mars. In December 2007, he played Mr. Simpson in the BBC production of Ballet Shoes with Emilia Fox and Emma Watson.
In January 2008 Warren starred in the Messiah series (Messiah V: The Rapture) taking over the main role from Ken Stott.
Warren can also be heard on numerous television and radio adverts throughout the UK. Contrary to popular belief, Warren does not provide the voice for the animated gecko in the Geico insurance company commercials, which is in fact voiced by British actor Jake Wood.
Warren helped in the production of digital storyboards (as a stand in for Ewan McGregor) in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace.
