Hey everyone, tis my turn with the profile this week and when I signed up I decided to go for Mackenzie Crook as I’d seen him in a couple of things and wanted to find out a bit more.
So here we go with a profile of Mackenzie Crook
General overview
So let’s start with a few basics he was born in 1971 in Maidstone, Kent, UK. He grew up in Dartford, also in Kent, and started out as a stand-up comedian.
He then moved into TV acting and while he was in programmes before it he first became really well known as Gareth Keenan in The Office (Gareth‘s website).
Here is a clip from The Office, Gareth’s stapler:
His first big movie role came in 2003 when he was cast as Ragetti in Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, a role he then reprised for the second and third Pirates movies as well. Here’s a scene he is part of:
Since then he has appeared in lots more TV shows and movies, some completely subjective highlights are:
TV Shows: Demons, Skins, Merlin, and Game of Thrones
Movies: Finding Neverland, The Brothers Grimm, Soloman Kane, Ironclad

And finally to finish us off here’s a quote from him in an Access Hollywood interview:
“Yes, there is humor to be had there, mainly through his social awkwardness,” Mackenzie told Access Hollywood. “I think there’s quite a bit of scope for humor and I don’t know how much scope there is for the rest of the show in this - it’s quite a serious role that they’ve created. … I’m not saying it’s gonna be relentlessly grim, but if they need some comic relief, they’ll come to Rudy.”
