Paul James Crook

Mackenzie Crook, who is a citizen of the Kingdom of Great Britain, is known to Russian and foreign audiences as an actor, director and author of books. Roles in feature films and TV series, awarded the BAFTA Award, show that an extraordinary man has found common ground with the audience.

The boy, famous under the name Paul James "McKenzie" Kurk, was born in September 1971 in the eastern English county of Kent. His ancestors from the city of Maidstone were representatives of ordinary professions and in his youth did not know that their surname will fall into a number of movie legends.

The father of the future actor worked for British Airways, and his mother, who received medical education, was the administrator of one of the hospitals. In addition to her son, the family brought up two cheerful life-loving girls, who were among the talented students in the school years.

Paul James with the help of intelligent parents sought to master academic knowledge, so entered the gymnasium at the age of 6.5 years. Communication with classmates and teachers contributed to the formation of personality, and gradually a curious child found answers to hundreds of questions.

As a child, due to health problems, the boy underwent hormone therapy, because the disease inhibited the development of parameters such as height and weight. Doctors recommended a warm climate, and for the summer Mackenzie went to his uncle's in zimbabwe, where he was interested in drawing local landscapes full of mysteries and wonders.

As a teenager, Crook began to participate in theatrical productions, and eventually others noticed that the British schoolboy showed talent. By the time he graduated from Dartforth, Paul James had become known to the local public as a young actor and musician.

Deciding not to continue his studies, the guy went through a dozen professions before getting into a professional troupe and making his debut in the cinema. He worked as a pizza deliveryman and a nurse in a provincial hospital, and then began to play comedy sketches, thus opening a window into the art world.

In the mid-1990s, a young man with an extraordinary appearance and at a height of 175 cm weighing about 70 kg, got into the picture "The Man Who Fell In Love with a Traffic Cone." This was a chance to join the British creative circles.

On Instagram, which publishes photos from foreign ceremonies and events, the popular actor from the UK can sometimes be seen with his wife and children. Lindsay Crook, as well as a boy and a girl named Jude and Elizabeth, according to friends and acquaintances of Mackenzie, make a holiday weekdays.

In an interview with reporters, the Maidstone native says he is happy in his personal life thanks to a family who share most of his creative ideas. But the details of romantic relationships, as well as the existence outside of filming funny "pirate of the Caribbean" prefers to hide from people.

In 1998, Crook got a job in the Barking show, which featured actors such as Catherine Tate and Marcus Brigstock. Having played a natural science teacher with a erratic obnoxious character, the young man gained experience and got a valuable lesson.

He then appeared on a parody program called The Eleven O'clock Show, which aired in the evening and attracted the attention of hundreds of people. Thanks to episodes where the main characters were journalists and reporters, Crook came to the attention of the producers and got a number of interesting roles.

In the early 2000s, continuing a successful career in television, the Briton visited dozens of castings in search of a script to his liking. At one of the auditions he was inspired by the story about the department of the paper company and for a week he thought incessantly about the type of one.

The authors of the comedy project "The Office" Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant decided that McKenzie will fit perfectly into a fictional, uncomplicated story. The role of Gareth Einen's trade representative - a man devoid of a sense of humour - was remembered by British audiences for the next 10 years.

Unfortunately, the box office appeared only 2 seasons for 6 episodes, and then for unknown reasons the comedy series was closed. The actor, who was twice nominated for the prestigious BAFTA Award, once woke up and realized that he is extremely happy and famous.

After a couple of minor roles in the films of British producers and directors Crook, driven by acting ambitions, went to conquer Hollywood. There he made his debut in the adventure saga "Pirates of the Caribbean", and a character named Rajetti liked the audience from the first minutes.

In the mid-2000s, the artist's successful filmography was supplemented with paintings "SpiderMan," "The Brothers Grimm" and "The Merchant of Venice." In the same period, the film biography of the writer James Barry, where Crook, who starred in a cameo in a cameo conquered hundreds of hearts.

Then the audience again saw the sea robber without an eye in the blockbuster director Gore Verbinski "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest". McKenzie hoped that the image, contrasting with Pintel played by Lee Arenberg, would allow you to stay with the film crew of the popular epic until the end.

However, after the adventures "at the end of the world" producers disagreed with the actor, and the 4th and 5th parts of the film were made without him. A little upset performer tried not to lose heart and soon found interesting scenarios in American and British cinema.

In parallel with the filming, he voiced the cartoon "Rollie and elf: Incredible Adventures" and participated in performances of the English theater Royal Court. The Tony Award for his role as Constantine in Ian Rixon's production of The Seagull brought a new productive twist to the actor's career.

In 2010, McKenzie spoke at a charity event where music and film stars presented prose and poetry. At the same time on the London stage of the famous Covent Garden Theatre "Warehouse Donmar" the performer in the play The Recruiting Officer played a middle-hand recruiter.

Television works of the time included the popular TV series "Little Dorrit," "Milk," "Merlin" and "Love Soup." And the appearance in the famous project of the HBO channel "Game of Thrones" allowed the Briton from Kent Maidstone to get into the elite audience club.

In 2014, Crook created his own fantasy comedy, titled Treasure Seekers, on BBC Four. Acting as an author, director and performer of the main role, the actor has previously mastered alien professions in the production of cinema.

The series received positive reviews from English and American critics and was awarded the prestigious British Academy Television Awards. The story with love, intrigue and adventure, as well as talented actors, judging by ratings and comments, also highly appreciated by the audience.

After his high-profile success, McKenzie appeared in the children's film Christopher Robin and television projects "Britain" and "The Inhabitants of the Hills". To re-process the management of the process and to obey the director of the film crew during this period cost the Briton considerable effort and labor.

Now the actor is busy in the creation of the movie "Caesar", which may appear in the roll in 2020. Judging by the news from the filming of the film based on the works of William Shakespeare, Mackenzie got the opportunity to fulfill the youthful dream.
