Noel Clarke Interview

Clarke, is a multi-talented writer,director, producer and actor, hailing from West London. He is most notably known for writing UK urban films for Kidulthood and Adulthood .  But he hasn't limited himself to being only involved with socio-realist films, as he has has gained commercial recognition by starring in Doctor Who and landing a role alongside Benedict Cumberbatch in the Hollywood Star Trek sequel. One of Clarke's tattoos bears the thought-provoking saying, 'be the change you wish to see in the world'. Speaking of how he would change the world, he said, "There's loads of things that are bigger that I can do. The fact that people don't have clean water is ridiculous. Politicians have real power, but they're not doing anything about it." It was refreshing to hear such a comment by Clarke, as the rate of inequality really surfaced in my brain juxtaposed with the wealthy lifestyles lead by government officials. Trinidadian born Clarke,
