- The actor: A working actor for over 30 years, Mark Strong has made a career out of playing sinister-looking, stoic, and somewhat bad guys. He’s played no fewer than five spies and/or members of the intelligence community, at least three evil foils opposite various and sundry superheroes and/or superbrains like Sherlock Holmes. Like many British actors, he’s also popped up in multiple period pieces, from the BBC’s Emma to a 2006 adaptation of Tristan & Isolde.
His latest gig is as Daniel, a troubled and duplicitous doctor who’s performing illegal surgeries in a cavernous room below a London tube station. As viewers of the series Temple-which was originally broadcast on Sky One in the U.K. but is coming to Spectrum in the U.S. on Oct. 26-will come to understand, Daniel’s motives are mostly pure, but what started as a good idea may have unintended consequences for himself and those around him. The A.V. Club talked with Strong about that role, as well as his longstanding working relationships with Matthew Vaughn, Sam Raimi, and Colin Firth.

Mark Strong is a phenomenal character actor. I was really impressed by him in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy
First movie I saw him in was Rocknrolla and he owned that role.
Such a fine actor. He always dominates any scene he's in, even if he's just standing there. Your eyes are just drawn to him.
So true and so well said. There is a movie called "The Way Back". He has a very minor role in the movie and perhaps you see him only in the first 30 minutes. But, he shines brilliantly with his own character conflict and obsessions. Truly, the film industry has a knack for ignoring the best kind of actors who can deliver more than a role entails.
He's hot AF, that voice could toast crumpets and his face makes me tingle. He can act too. 3 thumbs up
i always felt bad for him for the way they promoted low winter sun at the tailend of breaking bad. seems like a nice chap
Green lantern was brilliant even those unfinished he played him brilliantly I love that film
My favorite role he’s done gotta be Eddie Carbone in A View. Extraordinary production!
Lord Blackwood in Sherlock Holmes was another absolutely brilliant scene-stealing performance. Creepy as all get out.
People have a propensity to not recognise talent until it hits them on the face with a smack. In this man's case, it actually hits you with a bang. Yet, he is relegated to small roles of little consequence. Surprising.

I want to meet him so I can get an autograph for my poster of Ordon
