| Biography of Luke Mably |
“My first interest (in film), I suppose, was when I was about eight or nine and I had a good friend whose father brought home the first version of a video camera and we were let loose with it for a weekend. We were eight or nine year old kids so we started making these terrible horror films with tomato sauce and white sheets to pretend to be ghosts. I just remember really enjoying that and the whole creative side of it. I took drama school after that and the whole time, it was just fun and I remember just enjoying doing it - being different people or dressing up in costumes. But I started taking it really seriously when I got into drama school in London and it was a three-year training. From there, I've been on a mission I guess.” Luke Mably
A year after completing his studies, Luke Mably made his television debut as Paul Ripley on three episodes of the long-running BBC drama “Holby City.” Shortly thereafter, he gained some notice for playing the regular role of Scott Lucas on the British sport-themed series “Dream Team,” a role he played from 1999 to 2001, and then in 2002. His miniseries debut was in “In the Beginning” (2000), an adventure/drama directed by Kevin Connor and starring Martin Landau, Jacqueline Bisset and Bill Campbell. It marked Mably's American debut.
After his Hollywood debut, Mably was featured along side such stars as David Schwimmer, Leelee Sobieski, Hank Azaria, and Donald Sutherland in the Emmy-nominated war/drama telepic “Uprising” (2001), which was directed by Jon Avnet and jointly written by Avnet and Paul Brickman. The following ear, following a guest starring role as Ryan on the well-liked daytime drama “EastEnders,” he broke into the big screen as Private Clifton on the Danny Boyle-helmed “28 Days Later...” (2002). the sci-fi/horror flick starred Cillian Murphy, Naomie Harris, Noah Huntley, Brendan Gleeson and Megan Burns.
Mably shot a short film called “4:37” in 2003, but it was his next film role that brought the actor an actual prominence. He starred as Eddie/Prince Edvard in the blockbuster comedy/romance “The Prince & Me” (2004), opposite Julia Stiles as Paige Morgan and Miranda Richardson as Queen Rosalind. Telling about his new experience during the set of the film, he said, “I learned many new skills, like how to ride a horse. I had never done it before in my life. I had 3-hour intense lessons and had to learn how in 2 weeks, and not just ride a horse, but how to ride like a Prince sitting up quite straight and all. I also learned about table manners, how to shake hands properly and how to get out of a car correctly.”
Next up for Mably, he costarred with Billie Piper on the British horror film “Spirit Trap” (2005), by David Smith, appeared with Tom Allen, Scott Baker and Linda Bassett in the drama/comedy film “Colour Me Kubrick: A True...ish Story” (also 2005) and reprised his role of Prince Edward on the sequel “Prince & Me II: The Royal Wedding” (2006), which unfortunately went straight to video release.
