Mark Antoine

French and English actor, Mark Antoine was born in France and studied at RADA, after an intensive and profound work with his Bulgarian mentor Radka Riaskova - think Le Chiffre in Casino Royale in a lady version and much nicer... sometimes.

Work

Mark Antoine is the host of the kid's TV show Artzooka : a half hour series blending live action and animation to show kids that art is everywhere, everything can be used to create art and that there is an artist in each one of them.

Mark Antoine created his theatre and production company called EPROUVE! and successfully performed The Diary of a Madman by Nikolai Gogol (1835) at the Drill Hall Theatre, a one man play qualified as a virtuoso and tour de force performance. It then transferred to Mayfield for its Music Festival in East Sussex.

Mark Antoine's riveting performance in Gogol's Diary of a Madman was without question the highlight of our recent Festival and has been the talk of our town!

Reviews

I worked with Mark Antoine on my last film "VOIR LA MER". It was only a one-day shoot but I enjoyed his receptiveness. He is talented and has a real presence, which is quite rare. On the day he was tuned in and photogenic. He was really perfect. I wish him a long career with some beautiful work all along.

Mark Antoine in three words: Smile Energy & Presence. He has a tremendous energy and a contagious laugh, exactly what a real TV host needs. He gives a lift to Artzooka, and really makes the kids want to re-create at home what they see on screen. Thank you very much for all you gave and for your professionalism!
