The Movie Career of Mark Strange, Film Producer and
Actor.
During
2006 Sifu Mark Strange finally came to the conclusion that he must spend
more time to push his movie career onwards and upwards, and with regret
he had to come to the hard decision to stop teaching chinese martial
arts in a class setting to his local student following around Leyland
and Lancashire. Whether or not he ever returns to teach full time, he
is still as dedicated to the martial arts as he ever was, and may still
be available, time permitting, for private
tuition.
Mark
has made several appearances upon tv and has been interviewed many times
on the radio since his martial arts adventure began so many years ago
now (see about Mark Strange),
but the one early tv appearance that stands out for me was his appearance
upon chinese tv, on a visit there, upon which he demonstrated chinese
spear technique ;)
At
about this time Mark started to catch the eye of producers and agents
and his movie career began to take off with small support parts in films,
including "The Medallion", featuring Jackie Chan, Lee Evans
and Julian Sands. Wishing for more involvement Mark got together with
Lancashire film producer and director, Martin Holland, just before the
new millenium, and work began upon "Displaced",
which was based upon a short story by my sister Carol Strange, and is
the first feature length film produced by Mark and Martin under the
Skylandian Pictures banner. He hasn't looked back since, except perhaps
with fond memories of the friends he has made upon his journey so far.
Mark
is currently working closely with Chee
Keong Cheung of Intense
Productions to bring you even more entertaining action movies, such
as Underground, and Bodyguard: A New
Beginning. For
