Clarke Tribe was born on November 25th 1982 in Crawley, west sussex.
He spent the first twelve years of his life residing in Crawley, living with his mother (Wendy Thornback) and sister (Kerry Thornback), in a 3 bedroom terraced house on a council estate.
One of Clarkes childhood dreams was to be a "movie star" and he soon took his first steps in the world of acting when he signed himself up with Crawley "Footlights" at the age of just 10, and participated in his first pantomime as a policeman.
At the early age of just 12, Clarkes behavior had drastically started to spiral downhill and he soon found himself having to reside with his father (David Tribe).
Moving from the busy streets of city life, out to a barn conversion in the middle of the countryside was a huge shock to the system. There was nothing within a ten mile radius but stables and horse livery yards, so it wasn't too long before the inevitable happened! Clarke has never been one for sitting still and pondering. In the blink of an eye, he was soon in the saddle and racing his way through the furlongs towards the top of his game in yet another venture. Whilst participating in various events, show jumping and open hunter trials, he was soon approached by the Ralph Lauren polo team where he then started riding for them too. He worked closely alongside them to a high standard for a number of months, until he was yet again head-hunted by a trainer to one of the most famous dynasty whitaker twins. This man soon introduced Clarke into a world of riding in a western style saddle, where he started battling his way through the most dangerous sport in horse history,..... "JOUSTING"!!! When he wasn't performing at horse of the year shows, or at the "notorious" Ascot race course in-front of the Queen and other members of the "Royal family", he would be found at various castles around Great Britain, Galloping towards other knights, entering "60 mph" collisions! Now at the age of 15 Clarke was already becoming a Knight in shining armour and had became a "Knight of Royal England". He appeared on the "Blue Peter" show for his spectacular performances in-front of the "Royal family", giving him his first taste of being in the public eye and making his debut appearance onto the British television screens.
At that young age of 15 it proved to be very difficult for Clarke to make such major commitments and he unfortunately took a major step back from all that he had worked so hard to achieve. He soon got bored and drifted away from one lifestyle to another. The few years that he had spent away from the city life tucked away in stable yards, meant that he had missed out on a substantial amount of socializing and other life experiences. Clarke certainly didn't hang around on making up for lost time. He soon took the city life rapidly from one extreme to another, and soon found himself on the wrong paths. Taking drugs, drinking, and fighting wasn't quite enough to keep him occupied and he soon took things up another notch. Clarke had soon gone from strength to strength in building his very own criminal empire, supplying high end desirable Drugs, importation of Alcohol and Un-licensed Boxing. Before long he had become acquainted and best of friends with most of Britains most notorious faces in the underworld and found himself climbing the ladder once again. Clarke then became muscle for hire, taking on duties that most others daren't and was now involved with the most serious criminal activities on the spectrum. Before he knew it years had been lost behind prison bars, serving a total of 9 prison sentences as a high risk prisoner!!! If hindsight was available to him at those years of his life then we can certainly assure that he would have taken a different route. One thing that is for sure, Clarke is a genuine and humble guy and will go out of his way to help others and often finds himself doing just that. Whilst serving his 9th and final prison sentence the pin dropped for a much needed change in life, and he soon found himself working on a crime diversion program called "keep out". This program was based on helping youth offenders and the younger generations to stay out of criminal activities and to never enter the prison system. Once again Clarke had to up his anti and take things to another extreme! and this is when he decided to write his very own book based on crime diversion, called " IS IT CLEVER? ". This is certainly one of the books that people will be keeping an eye out for in 2020. One other key and vital point about his final prison sentence is that he became friends with a known actor that filled him with inspiration and gave him the final kick from behind that he needed to pursue his childhood dreams. Being a "Prisoner" or a "Gangster" was no longer a way of life that Clarke wished to participate in. The choice was now made for him to return back to the acting upon his release.
Shortly after his final walk of shame from the prison gates, Clarke settled back into the community and went to every point of contact that he had in the film industry and put himself back on the map. In no time at all he had done what he does best and taken things to extreme, landing himself various film contracts and deals. Within his first year he had already gained 14 film credits under his belt, with plenty more coming his way thick and fast! Clarke now continues to support youth offenders and often does voluntary work with them, hes waiting for his very own crime diversion book to go into the publishers, and he is currently working on the final draft of his very own film script ( "The Drugs Game" ), that goes into production mid 2019. Clarke is still associated with some of the most notorious and famous gangsters around various parts of Britain and they are now busy setting up a variety of anti crime campaigns and producing other books and films between them. Clarke also has a huge array of Celebrity friends that he is often in the company of and making further plans with, in order to catapult his career and life ahead.
Clarke Tribe is also now named as one of the top ten actors to keep an eye out for in 2020.
