Biography

Elected to BAFTA, David Bowles is a recognizable and versatile British and international actor known for his strong leading character portrayals across both contemporary and 'period' roles. Based from his home in England, his varied portfolio has taken him across UK, Europe, Asia, Africa, USA, and around the world; and with recent attachments including the multi-million dollar American 'superhero' epic Axa.

Notable projects to date include stunt work on Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991) with Kevin Costner & Morgan Freeman; headlining with Oliver Reed in the Greek classic Orpheus & Eurydice (2000); and Olympiad 448 BC: Olympiad of Ancient Hellas (2004) co-starring with Roy Dotrice and Brian Blessed. He is also known for his earlier work with legendary German screen icon Maria Schell in the sequel to unique Mediterranean TV series 'Occupation' starring Kurt Jurgens and Klaus Kinski.

Awards: The Gathering (2004) (Royal Television Society Awards); action-adventure Web of Deceit (2007) aka 'Gunner' (Cannes Film Festival).

Born in Bolton (England), and immensely proud of his native Mancunian roots, he first appeared on the 'silver screen' in TV favorites such as 'Eastenders', 'The Bill', 'Coronation Street', 'Poirot' etc; together with several other pivotal roles including 'Elron' (magical King of the Elves); 'Thor' (Viking Warrior) for Thames TV; and as 'Morgar' in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves for Warners. After a brief period at RADA in 1990s, his travels took him across Europe, Asia, Africa, Russia, and on to America, where he spent whatever time he could at the famed Stella Adler Academy in Hollywood and other popular local theatrical venues to help develop his craft. On returning to UK further appearances followed in popular screen dramas such as Director Ian Madden's Missing (2006); 'Rebus' The Falls (2006) (with Natalie Dormer); and Carnaby Film's quirky comedy Lighthouse Hill (2004) with Frank Finlay and UK comedy icons Maureen Lipman and John Sessions.

As for theatre his early stage credits list "Canterbury Tales" (The Miller), "As You Like It" (Jacques), "A Man For All Seasons" (Lord Chapuys). But he is probably best known for his gritty performances as 'Big Danny' in the UK stage tour of 'The Hardman' (hard-hitting life story of Scottish gangster Jimmy Boyle based on Boyle's own book, 'Sense Of Freedom'), and as Victorian stage icon 'Henry Irving' for American stage director Elizabeth Sharland in her London production of "A Shakespeare Anthology".

Yet he is ever the 'Philosopher' ... his own favorite quotation being from his illustrious idol Sir Laurence Olivier on 'actors and acting'...

"We are as immediate as the moment..." :)
