Clark Gregg

Agent Phil Coulson is an important character in the Marvel universe, without which it is impossible to imagine the agents of the organization of the Y.I.T. Fans of the world of superheroes can admire him thanks to the actor Clark Gregg, who began his journey with episodic roles, then come to worldwide fame.

Clark Gregg was born in Boston, Massachusetts, on April 2, 1962, to Robert Clark Gregg Sr., an Episcopal church priest and professor at Stanford University. The family moved frequently, and by the age of 17 Clark had a life in seven cities. In high school, the young man attended Chapel Hill, Northern California, where Robert Gregg taught at Duke University.

After high school, Clark enrolled at Ohio's Wesleyan University, where he studied for two years. The young man then dropped out and moved to Manhattan.

He was prompted by a sports injury. During his studies Gregg played in the football team, and when he could not continue playing sports - got a role in the student production. The scene so inspired the young man that completely changed the life of the future actor. Another factor that prompted Clark to drop out and go to New York was his love of music: he was fond of ska and punk rock and for a time played on the stage of the popular club CBGB-OMFUG.

At the dawn of the biography, due to lack of funds, Gregg changed many professions. In particular, he worked as a security guard at the Guggenheim Museum, as a bartender and even as a parking attendant in a restaurant.

However, the idea to get a higher education Clark did not leave - the half-starved life of a musician, forced to take on any part-time work, made you think about the future. A little later, he enrolled in New York University's Tisch School of Art, an educational institution from which such stars as Woody Allen, Whoopi Goldberg and Alec Baldwin graduated at various times. Gregg graduated from the School of Art in 1986.

Clark first appeared on screen in 1988, playing a cameo role in the crime comedy "Everything Changes." This work was followed by the films "Lip Service" and "Making a Shadow" - a picture about the creation of an atomic bomb. Later, the actor was invited to small roles in many films and television projects. In his filmography and TV series "Sex and the City", and work in the film "Artificial Intelligence", and shooting in the military drama "We were soldiers."

Clark became a really popular actor in 2008, when the film "Iron Man" was released - where Gregg played the role of a secondary, but significant for the plot agent Phil Coulson. His character is a kind of link between the agents of "Y.I.T." and other heroes of the Marvel movie universe.

Although Gregg is not very tall (the actor's height is 175 cm) and does not have a "superhero" appearance, he successfully embodied on the screen the image of a tough man, able to lead the organization and fight back enemies. Colson is the hero of many films, TV series and animated series of the franchise.

Later, the character appeared not only on the screen, but also in comics, as well as in computer games on the fictional universe. Today, Marvel superheroes are hard to imagine without Phil Coulson, and the lion's share of the success of the character belongs to Gregg, because the hero created in the first place he - until 2010 agent in the comics did not appear.

As a result, the episode in "Iron Man" led to the fact that in the popular multi-episode project "Agents of the Y.I.T." Colson - one of the central characters of the plot, without which the organization would not exist. At the age of 40, Gregg won public acclaim along with such young stars of the series as Chloe Bennett, Elizabeth Henstridge and Brett Dalton.

In between working on the image of agent Coulson, the actor also starred in films far from superhero-themed. For example, in the youth comedy "With whom to sleep?!!" Gregg appeared in the form of Judge Clark, conservative in the views of the father of the main character.

Gregg is known not only as an actor. He created the 2008 film "Suffocation" based on the novel by Chuck Palahniuk, the writer who gave the world "Fight Club". Clarke's directorial debut won a special jury prize at the Sundance Film Festival in 2008 and was generally well received by critics. By the way, "Suffocation" Gregg not only shot - also wrote the script for the film. Another script work of the actor is the plot of the film "What Hides a Lie", shot by Robert Semekis and became the 10th highest-grossing film of 2000.

The actor's personal life is constantly in the sphere of interest of fans. In 2001, on the picturesque beach Martha's Vineyard Clark married Jennifer Gray, the star of "Dirty Dancing", and at the time of the ceremony the actor's wife was already pregnant. On December 3 of that year, Clark and Jennifer's daughter was born. Stella Gregg - the only child in the family, the couple has no other children.

In Clark's life there were also difficult periods: the actor does not hide that once abused drugs and alcohol. In an interview, Gregg admitted that he had become acquainted with bad habits when he was young, while living in Chapel Hill. According to him, it was a city of student parties, in which he began to participate as a teenager. However, he began to drink seriously and use psychoactive substances later, while studying at Wesleyan University.

The way of Clark's religious searches is also interesting. Despite his father's church rank, the actor now professes Judaism. He came to this religion because of his wife: Jennifer is Jewish and faithful to the faith of her ancestors.

According to Gregg, by the time he converted to Judaism, he had 20 years of experience working with David Mamet, an American actor, a Jew by nationality, and the new York theater community (where, obviously, there were also many Jews). So after coming to Judaism, he felt at home.

Fans can follow the actor's life on his Twitter and Instagram accounts. There, Clark shares news about filming, short videos and photos from everyday life. By the way, the artist's blog also publishes pictures taken at training - Gregg is seriously fond of Brazilian jiu-jitsu and has a black belt in this type of martial arts.

2019 for Gregg - another year under the sign of agent Coulson: Clark is once again engaged in this role in the next superhero film "Captain Marvel."

Another subject of interest of fans of the actor was the status of Phil in the 6th season of the series "Agents of "Y.I.T." Season 5 ended for the agent on a sad note of humility with the death of his body. And in the trailer for the series, released in January 2019, Colson is definitely alive. However, the hero clearly suffers from amnesia and may have changed the views of life.
