Mark Dexter

Mark Dexter

Mark Dexter is a British RADA trained actor.

Dexter's early successes were on stage, in particular with two high-profile productions of Tennessee Williams plays, beginning with Sam Mendes' 1995 Olivier Award winning production [1] of The Glass Menagerie at the Donmar Warehouse, in which he played The Gentleman Caller. This was soon followed by Trevor Nunn's Tony Award winning production [2] of Williams' never-before-seen Not About Nightingales, which transferred from London's National Theatre to the Circle in the Square Theatre on Broadway in 1999.

Since then, Dexter has moved primarily into film and television.[3] Among an extensive list of British TV credits, he is probably best known in his home country for playing the devious Sun Hill CPS lawyer Matt Hinckley in TV's The Bill, a role he played from 2006-07.

Between October 2008 and January 2009, Dexter made regular appearances on NBC in America, playing the role of Samuel Tuffley in eight episodes of Crusoe, a major 12-part miniseries.[4]

More recently, in the summer of 2009, Mark returned to the National Theatre in London, playing Robin Conway in Rupert Goold's production of J.B. Priestley's Time and the Conways,[5] he followed this by appearing alongside Kevin Spacey in the role of cynical journalist E.K. Hornbeck,[6] a thinly disguised portrayal of H.L. Mencken, in Trevor Nunn's revival of Inherit the Wind at the Old Vic.[7]

During the first half of 2010, Mark appeared in the recurring role of businessman Paul Stokes in Coronation Street.[8] He played Count Skriczevinsky in Trevor Nunn's production of Flare Path at the Theatre Royal, Haymarket in 2011.[9]
