James Marcus

James Marcus (born 1943) is an English actor.

He is best known for his performance as Georgie, one of the droogs in Stanley Kubrick's controversial "A Clockwork Orange". Before becoming an apprentice printer, he spent the majority of his teenage life performing gigs. After studying acting courses at the 15 Drama school in London, he had several roles in plays based on the works of Shakespeare. His first appearance on TV was the BBC show "Hello, Good Evening and Welcome" (1968). He also landed a role in the 1969 war comedy, "The Virgin Soldiers".

In 1970, Kubrick got in touch with the young actor for an audition for his upcoming project, an adaptation of Anthony Burgess' gang warfare novel A Clockwork Orange. Apart from his fight scenes, Kubrick was also impressed by James's dark demeanour and this won him the role. During filming, Kubrick described James as "very professional".

His other TV appearances include "UFO", "The Sweeney", "Doctor Who", "Z-Cars" and "The Professionals". He also appearded in the Robin Askwith vehicle "Let's Get Laid" (1977) with John Clive, another "Clockwork Orange" actor. He also starred in "The Naked Civil Servant" (1975) with John Hurt and McVicar (1980). One of his other memorable roles is that of fire station officer Sidney Tate in "London's Burning". He also directed the nihilistic "Tank Malling" (1993) which featured Ray Winstone.

As well as directing, James also produced and co-wrote "Passing Through" including "Family Tree", a stage production. He is currently involved in the TV/film industry devoting his time to acting (his recent role was in "The Bill"), producing and screen-writing.
