My Take
Warren Clarke is one of those English character actors whose face you recognize long before you place the name. For me, his role as Dim in Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange in 1971 is an indelible early mark, but it is the long television run that defines him, especially as Detective Superintendent Andy Dalziel in Dalziel and Pascoe. Born in Oldham in 1947, he worked across film and TV and even moved into directing. What I respect is the durability of a working actor who stayed busy and credible right up until his death in 2014, never coasting on a single famous credit.
