Join us for a 90-minute Career Retrospective with actor Mark Strong moderated by Richard Ridge, BroadwayWorld.
Mark Strong is an actor known for his commanding screen presence, distinctive voice, and versatility across film, television, and stage. He recently received his second Tony Award nomination for his career-defining performance in the titular role of 'Oedipus' opposite Lesley Manville. Reimagining Sophocles’ epic tragedy as an explosive political thriller, the production became one of the year’s most sensational stage experiences and, during its final week of performances, achieved the highest-grossing box office in Studio 54 history.
Prior to its Broadway run, Strong earned an Olivier Award nomination for the production’s record-breaking engagement in London’s West End. He received his first Tony Award nomination in 2016 for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play for his acclaimed portrayal of Eddie Carbone in the Young Vic production of Arthur Miller’s 'A View From the Bridge'.
Strong’s prolific film career spans genres, from the action-packed 'Kingsman' franchise to acclaimed dramas including '1917,' 'Zero Dark Thirty,' 'TÁR,' and 'The Imitation Game,' as well as comedies such as the 'Murder Mystery' films and 'Cruella.'
He will next star in Tom Ford’s highly anticipated feature 'Cry to the Heaven,' based on Anne Rice’s acclaimed novel. On television, Strong has delivered notable performances in 'The Penguin' opposite Colin Farrell, HBO Max’s 'Dune: Prophecy,' 'Nine Perfect Strangers' opposite Nicole Kidman, and 'The Long Firm,' for which he received a BAFTA TV Award nomination.
Strong resides in London with his wife, film producer Liza Marshall, and their two sons.
