WELCOME
Welcome to the official home page of Mark 'Rhino' Smith.
Mark was born in London but he has a hugely colourful heritage – Cherokee Indian, Jamaican, Ghanaian, Chinese and White. This mix along with his piercing green eyes has given him a very a distinctive and striking look.
Mark first catapulted onto our screens as Rhino in the massive ITV series, 'Gladiators' (UK) where he reigned for five years, he had previously won many titles as a champion body building. Since the show he has continued his vigorous training regime but he is now leaner and faster.
He has since gone onto a hugely successful acting career appearing in many films and TV dramas. He starred in the BBC's Robin Hood series and Lynda La'Plante's Trial and Retribution. He has also been in some of the UK's biggest shows such as EastEnders, The Bill, Inspector Lynley and Hustle to name a few.
Warners cast Mark in his first major movie project in the Blockbuster 'Batman Begins' directed by Christopher Nolan where he played a Shadow Warrior alongside Liam Neeson. Following this success he travelled to Los Angeles where he kicked off his time fronting a high profile Olympic advertising campaign for McDonalds, and a critically acclaimed short film called Nocturne for Cannon.
Other recent work includes Pirates of the Caribbean 4, Argo playing The Space Lord Villain directed by Ben Affleck and Frozen Ground directed by Scott Walker filmed in Alaska with Nicholas Cage and Vanessa Hugdens.
January 2012 and Mark has newly signed with the much respected management agency, Affirmative Entertainment and has three films in pre-production.
