MALCOLM MCDOWELL 'BIOGRAPHY

MALCOLM MCDOWELL is arguably among the most dynamic and inventive of world-class actors, yet also one capable of immense charm, humor and poignancy. McDowell has created a gallery of iconographic characters since catapulting to the screen as Mick Travis, the rebellious upperclassman in 's prize-winning sensation "IL."

His place in movie history was subsequently secured when finally found the actor he was searching for to play the gleefully amoral Alex in "A Clockwork Orange,'' when McDowell himself conceived the idea for Mick Travis' fmiher adventures in Anderson's Candide-like masterpiece, "0 Lucky Man!/' and when he wooed and defeated Jack the Ripper as the romantically inquisitive H.G. Wells in "Time After Time."

Those legendary roles are among the ones that have endured with legions of filmgoers while new adherents have been won over by his tyrannical Soran (who destroys Capt Kirk) in ": Generations"; his Machiavellian Mr. Roarke in "Fantasy Island" and his comically pompous professor Steve Pynchon in the critically hailed CBS television series, "Pearl," starring opposite Rhea Perlman.

For his motion picture work, the American Cinemateque honored him with a retrospective in June 2001, highlighted by showings of his electrifying performances in two major works. The first is Paul McGuigan's "Gangster No. 1," in which McDowell and Paul Bettany portray the consumed, driven title character and which affords McDowell the chance to create a character both on screen and through nuanced voice-over. The second is Russian director Karen Chakhnazarov's acclaimed and rarely seen "Assassin ofthe Tsar," which Vincent Canby called "a remarkable mystical and psychological exploration of the murder of the Romanov family. 11 About McDowell's performance as the conflicted Yurovsky, the man who carried out the crime, said, "Not since reaching his mature years has McDowell given such a fine, strong, crafty performance. is acted with immense skilL"

McDowell's distinctive motion picture characterizations include: Richard Lester's "Royal Flash," Paul Schrader's "Cat People," Rachel Talalay's "Tank. Girl," 's 11 Figures in a Landscape," ' "The Raging Moon" and the Chaplinesque studio boss in ' "Sunset" His film credits are further highlighted by his compellingly sinister ;;"; the brilliant literary editor Maxwell Perkins in Martin Ritt1s 11 Cross Creekn; his cameo in Robert Altman1s "The Player"; and his final

1 incarnation ofMick Travis in "BrHannia Hospital," the third film in Andersv11's trilogy marking the disintegration of British culture.

McDowell's film work also includes Bobby Jones: Stroke of Genius, In Good Company, I Spy, 's "The Company"; Robert Downey Sr.'s "Hugo Pool" with Sean Penn, Robert Downey Jr. and Cathy Moriarty; Just Visiting, Mr. Magoo, Hugh Hudson's "My Life So Far," Blue Thunder, Neil Marshall's Doomsday in 2007, 's I & II, and the voice of villain, Dr. Calico, in Disney's 2008 box office hit, Bolt

On television, McDowell has continued having recurring appearances as Terence on the hit HBO series, Entourage, as Linderman on NBC's Heroes, and Malcolm is currently starring in TNT's newest series, Franklin & Bash, as Stanton Infeld. Franklin & Bash is the highest rated test pilot in the history of TNT.
