What else has Noel Clarke been in?
Noel is no stranger to the big and small screen and has been building a solid career in TV and film over the past twenty years.
Eagle-eyed viewers will recognise him from his early beginnings in films such as Kidulthood, Adulthood and Brotherhood alongside actress Jamie Allen.
Dr. Who, when he starred initially as Billie Piper’s long-suffering boyfriend.
Most recently he has starred alongside Top Boy’s Ashley Walters in Sky series Bulletproof. The pair star as two NCA taking down criminals in London. The third series of the popular show recently aired.
However, Noel has commented recently that his new role with ITV is one of his most significant yet. Speaking to the Radio Times, Noel said: “One of the reasons that really attracted me to the part [was that] there was a stillness, and a real calm about the writing.
“I was just like, ‘I’ve never had this opportunity to play a role like this’. And furthermore, I don’t think anyone believed or has ever believed that I could do a role like this, in all honesty. So it was, you know, it was sort of a no brainer for me [to accept the part].”
When is ITV’s viewpoint showing?
Noel Clarke will be starring in ITV’s upcoming crime drama Viewpoint, which will air on ITV at 9pm over five nights from Monday, April 26 until Friday, April 30.
