Noel Clarke, who will play a Jaffa opposite
Christopher Judge in the launch release of
Big Finish’s second
season of Stargate SG-1 audio dramas, has been nominated for
BAFTA’s prestigious ‘Rising Star’ award.
Clarke, known to
Doctor Who fans as Mickey, has made a name for himself in the British film industry as the writer, director and star of the films
Kidulthood and
Adulthood. He also wrote the
Torchwood episode ‘Combat’, and is starring in upcoming 2009 films
Heartless and
Doghouse.
The award, voted for by the public, acknowledges fresh talent in the film industry, and indicates a bright future for the shortlisted names. Previous nominees include those now considered to be the A-list of British acting talent, amongst them James McAvoy
and Sienna Miller.
Clarke has a long history with Big Finish, having first appeared in
Dalek Empire IV: The Fearless, as Salus Kade. In May 2009, alongside series star Christopher Judge as Teal’c, he will be heard in
Stargate SG-1: First Prime as the Jaffa Sebe’t.
First Prime sees Teal’c and his former friend Sebe’t struggling for supremacy as the SG-1 team member fights to rescue Jack O’Neill and Daniel Jackson from the clutches of Apophis.
