Great performance from James Marcus too,as Georgie !!!!

Rating: 10/10 (7 March 2006)

British TV-actor James Marcus,before having a good career in television (London's burning is the best example!)was(...back in 1971)playing one of the most memorable roles in the cult film,Oscar nominated,classic Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange...in which he played with great presence and solid acting style Georgie(one of the 4 Droogs). The way he played the character was so good and very convincing that many people believed he should have won an Award nomination as best actor in a supporting role;he played very straight and gave to his character a kind of cold and nasty air,,,very different from the one in the original Anthony Burgess novel;that's why he was considered great...he was able to change it completely and give to it his own type of personality and identity! Between the 4 Droogs,Malcolm McDowell(Alex),Warren Clarke(Dim),Michael Tarn(Pete)and him,Marcus played the most nasty character,the most hated...and if the result was so good it was basically due to his particular serious and solid acting and also(which was very determinating)to his extremely deep English accent(considered by many the strongest English accent in film history!). Marcus job in A Clockwork Orange was the best of his career and soon the actor was typecast. Since then,he played mainly in television in works of British production and also did directing,writing and producing for other films as well as working in comedies in London.
