British actor Warren Clarke found fame as one of the thugs who followed Malcolm McDowell's character in Stanley Kubrick's 1971 film A Clockwork Orange.

Clarke began his career in theater in the Huddersfield Repertory and  Liverpool Playhouse.

He later moved to films and television, scoring roles in the BBC drama Coronation Street, the series Tinker, Tailor Soldier, Spy, Blackadder the Third, Lovejoy, and Bleak House. His most recent television appearances were in the series Call the Midwife and Down to Earth.

In film, along with his best-known role in A Clockwork Orange, he also appeared in films including Oh Lucky Man!, again with McDowell, Firefox,  and Enigma.

Popular among his colleagues, Clarke was remembered by Richard E. Grant of Downton Abbey as "Hilarious and irreverent." Co-star McDowell said of him, "He was truly a fantastic actor. As well as being a incredibly funny mimic! He always got me laughing into tears with his rendition of Eddie Waring, the rugby league commentator."

Clarke died at age 67 on November 12, 2014 in London.
