After a few years, although successful in his career, Clive felt unfulfilled
and decided to quit his job and enroll in drama school. After attending a
one-year course at London drama school Arts Educational, he launched his
professional acting career playing the lead role of Alan Turing, the gay
mathematician, in the play Breaking the Code. Clive appeared in many well-received
stage plays and made several TV appearances over the next few years, before,
in 1996, deciding to try his luck in Hollywood. By the end of the three week
vacation he took there to investigate moving permanently, he had landed the
lead role of Ben Evans in Aaron Spelling's new daytime drama Sunset Beach.
Clive played the brooding mysterious Brit for three years, also appearing as
his character's evil identical twin, Derek, a role for which he won much
critical acclaim.
After the cancellation of the show in December 1999, Clive moved into behind
the camera work, building a successful career as a writer and producer. He
made his return to TV in 2003, playing interplanetary bounty hunter Travis
Montana in one season of the Canadian sci-fi series Starhunter. Clive also
appeared in the soap General Hospital and worked alongside Julia Roberts,
lending his voice to the animated movie The Ant Bully. He spend most of 2005
filming live-action footage for the computer game Darkstar.
Clive is married to Australian actress/writer Libby Purvis, who he met at
drama school. The pair moved to America together for Clive to take the role
on Sunset Beach, and married in 1999 in an intimate ceremony on Richard
Branson's private island, Necker Island. They have two children, born
October 2002, Alexander and Amelia. |
