Mark Dexter

Who is 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 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 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. Among an extensive list of British TV credits, he is probably best known in his home country for playing Timothy Gray in the 1950s set ITV crime drama The Bletchley Circle opposite screen wife Anna Maxwell Martin, and for the devious Sun Hill CPS lawyer Matt Hinckley in ITV'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 mini-series.
