biography:
Der britische Charakterdarsteller Mark Strong wurde unter dem Namen Marco Giuseppe Salussolia geboren. Seine Eltern – seine Mutter stammt aus Österreich, sein Vater ist Italiener – beschlossen, eine Namensänderung zu beantragen. Sie gingen davon aus, dass ihr Sohn es mit einem britisch klingenden Namen in London leichter haben würde.

Nach seinem Schulabschluss entschloss sich Strong, der fließend Deutsch spricht, zu einem Jurastudium in München. Nach einem Jahr brach er das Studium ab und ging zurück nach England, wo er an der Royal Holloway, einem College der Universität London, Schauspiel und Anglistik studierte. Nach seinem Abschluss besuchte er die Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.

Neben verschiedenen Rollen in diversen Bühnenstücken hatte Mark Strong zu dieser Zeit auch seinen ersten Fernsehauftritt in der britischen Fernsehserie After Henry (1989). Nachdem er die darauffolgenden Jahre in verschiedenen Fernsehserien und Filmen, unter anderem in The Bill (1990) und Heißer Verdacht (1993), zu sehen war, folgte mit Century seine erste Rolle in einem Kinofilm. Doch wirkte er auch danach immer wieder in Fernsehproduktionen mit. So spielte er 1996 neben Kate Beckinsale die männliche Hauptrolle in einer Verfilmung von Jane Austens Emma und neben Sean Bean in Die Scharfschützen.

biography: L'acteur britannique Mark Strong, qui a joué Jim Prideaux dans le remake 2011 de Tinker Tailor Soldier Soldier Spy (2011), est souvent présenté comme des méchants froids et calculateurs. Mais avant de devenir un acteur célèbre, il avait l'intention de faire carrière en droit. Strong est né Marco Giuseppe Salussolia le 30 août 1963 à Londres, en Angleterre, d'une mère autrichienne et d'un père italien. Son père a quitté la famille peu de temps après sa naissance, et sa mère a travaillé comme fille au pair pour élever le garçon par ses propres moyens. La mère de Strong a fait changer son nom légalement quand il était jeune afin de l'aider à mieux s'assimiler avec ses pairs. Bien que les Américains connaissent mieux les rôles de Strong dans Sinestro dans Green Lantern (2011), Frank D'Amico dans Kick-Ass (2010) et Lord Blackthorn dans Sherlock Holmes (2009), le public britannique le connaît grâce à sa longue histoire d'acteur de télévision. Il a également joué dans de nombreuses productions scéniques britanniques, notamment au Royal National Theatre et à la RSC.  Ses rôles les plus importants à la télévision comprennent Prime Suspect 3 (1993) (TV) et Prime Suspect 6 : The Last Witness (2003) (TV) en tant qu'inspecteur Larry Hall, ainsi que les rôles principaux dans les dramatiques de la BBC "Our Friends in the North" (1996) et "The Long Firm" (2004), ce dernier ayant obtenu une nomination à la BAFTA. Il a également joué M. Knightley dans l'adaptation en 1996 du conte classique de Jane Austen Emma (1996) (TV). Strong réside à Londres avec sa femme Liza Marshall, avec qui il a deux fils, dont le plus jeune est le filleul de son ami de longue date Daniel Craig.

biography:
Mark Strong (szül. Marco Giuseppe Salussolia) 1963. augusztus 30-án látta meg a napvilágot Londonban. Édesanyja osztrák, édesapja olasz származású. Jól beszél németül és kicsit olaszul is. Édesapja a gyermek születése után elhagyta a családot. Zenéléssel is foglalkozott - kamaszként egy punk együttesben játszott. Ügyvédnek készült, de egy év után félbehagyta jogi tanulmányait a müncheni Ludwig Maximilian Egyetemen és visszatért Londonba, ahol színészetet tanult a Royal Halloway Egyetemen, de a Bristol Old Vic Theatre School hallgatója is volt. Közkedvelt angol színész; számos tévéfilmben és hazájában ismert tévésorozatban szerepelt: Első számú gyanúsított (1993), (1996), (1996). A Egy férfi, egy nő és egy focicsapat című romantikus vígjátékban Colin Firth oldalán tűnt fel, míg a Births, Marriages and Deaths (1999) vígjátéksorozatban Ray Winstone volt főszereplőtársa. Szerepelt az (2000) regény-klasszikus tévéfilm feldolgozásában is – a filmsorozatban Oblonskyt formálta meg. Kiefer Sutherlanddal szerepelt együtt a filmvásznon a Soha többé háborút! (2001) filmdrámában, majd ismét egy kosztümös filmsorozat következett: VIII. Henrik (2003), melyben együtt játszott Sean Beannel, Helena Bonham Carterrel, Emily Blunttal és Charles Dance-szal.

Thomas Vinterberg szerepet ajánlott neki rendezésében, így formálhatta meg Arthur karakterét az A végső megoldás: szerelem (2003) romantikus filmdrámában, de Roman Polanski is számolt vele a Dickens regényből készült Twist Olivérben (2005). Felbukkant a Sziriána (2005) és a Napfény (2007) című alkotásokban is, majd a főszereplők között tündökölt a Spílerben (2008) és Guy Ritchie rendezésében, a Sherlock Holmesban (2009) is. A színészcsapatban előkelő helyen kapott lehetőséget a Zöld Lámpás (2011) akciófilmben, de a John Le Carré regényéből készült Suszter, szabó, baka, kém (2011) filmadaptációban is a színészek krémje között foglalt helyet. A Fekete arany (2011) című történelmi drámában Amar szultán bőrébe bújt, ellenfelét, Nesib emírt Antonio Banderas alakította.

Szerepet osztottak rá a John Carterben (2013) és a Emlékbúvár-ben (2013), de a Benedict Cumberbatch és Keira Knightley főszereplésével készült Kódjátszma (2014) című akciófilmben is az élen játszott. A Kingsman (2014) című akciófilmben Colin Firth társaságában volt látható. Készülő filmjei az Végső cél: Az ismeretlen (2015) és a Agyas és agyatlan (2015).

Feleségével, Liza Marshallal Londonban nevelik két fiukat.

biography:
Mark Strong werd geboren als Marco Giuseppe Salussolia. Zijn vader was een Italiaan en zijn moeder een Oostenrijkse. Op jonge leeftijd veranderde zijn moeder zijn naam in Mark Strong, zodat hij zich beter kon integreren bij zijn leeftijdsgenoten.

De rol ging uiteindelijk naar Javier Bardem, die een Oscar won voor zijn vertolking.

Met regisseur Guy Ritche werkte hij nadien nog enkele keren samen. Zo speelde Strong mee in RocknRolla (2008) en was hij de slechterik in Sherlock Holmes (2009). Strong werd regelmatig als de antagonist gecast. Hij was dat onder meer in Kick Ass (2010) en Robin Hood (2010).

Türkçe

biography:
Mark Strong, doğum adıyla Marco Giuseppe Salussolia, 5 Ağustos 1963 tarihinde Londra, İngiltere'de dünyaya gelmiştir. Avusturyalı bir anne ve İtalyan bir babanın oğlu olan Strong'un adı, annesi tarafından küçük yaşta daha kolay uyum sağlaması için değiştirilmiştir. Londra Üniversitesi'ne bağlı Royal Holloway'de İngilizce ve Drama eğitimi aldıktan sonra, saygın Bristol Old Vic Tiyatro Okulu'nda profesyonel oyunculuk eğitimi alarak kariyerine adım attı.

Kariyerinin başlarında tiyatro sahnesinde ve özellikle İngiliz televizyonunda sayısız rolde yer alarak kendini kanıtladı. 1990'lar ve 2000'lerin başı boyunca "Our Friends in the North" (1996) gibi kült yapımlarda ve birçok mini dizide oynayarak Birleşik Krallık'ta tanınan bir yüz haline geldi. Sinemadaki çıkışını ise 2000'li yılların ortalarında artan rolleriyle yaptı. Genellikle zeki, otoriter ve soğukkanlı karakterleri canlandırmadaki başarısıyla dikkat çekti.

Strong, özellikle canlandırdığı unutulmaz kötü karakterlerle uluslararası alanda ün kazandı. Guy Ritchie'nin yönettiği "RocknRolla" (2008) ve "Sherlock Holmes" (2009) filmlerindeki rolleri, "Kick-Ass" (2010) filmindeki mafya babası Frank D'Amico ve Ridley Scott'ın "Robin Hood" (2010) filmindeki Sir Godfrey performansları, onun bu tür roller için aranan bir aktör olmasını sağladı. Ancak kariyeri sadece kötü karakterlerle sınırlı kalmadı. "Köstebek" (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) (2011) filminde canlandırdığı ihanete uğramış casus Jim Prideaux rolüyle eleştirmenlerden tam not alarak dramatik derinliğini gözler önüne serdi.

Geniş kitlelerce sevilmesini sağlayan en önemli rollerinden biri, "Kingsman" serisinde canlandırdığı teknoloji uzmanı ve mentor Merlin karakteri oldu. Bu rol, onun kahraman ve sadık bir müttefiki de ne kadar başarıyla canlandırabildiğini gösterdi. Ayrıca, Oscar ödüllü "Yapay Oyun" (The Imitation Game) (2014) filminde MI6 başkanı Stewart Menzies, "1917" (2019) filminde Yüzbaşı Smith ve DC evreni filmi "Shazam!"da (2019) Dr. Thaddeus Sivana gibi farklı ve önemli rollerde yer aldı.

Kendine has keskin yüz hatları, komuta eden duruşu ve tok sesiyle tanınan Mark Strong, hem korkutucu bir düşmanı hem de güvenilir bir dostu eşit derecede ikna edici bir şekilde oynayabilme yeteneği sayesinde günümüzün en güvenilir ve meşgul karakter oyuncularından biri olarak kabul edilmektedir.
