Malcolm McDowell was born on June 13, 1943 in Leeds, Yorkshire. He is a British actor.

McDowell began his professional life serving drinks in his parents' pub and then as a coffee salesman. McDowell made his screen debut as school rebel Mick Travis in If.... (1968).

On television, McDowell co-starred with Laurence Olivier and Alan Bates in Harold Pinter's The Collection, and had the title role in CBS' Arthur the King.

He starred in Stanley Kubrick thriller A Clockwork Orange (1971). In 1973 he linked up with Lindsay Anderson once again to appear in another attack on corrupt British institutions, O Lucky Man! (1973).

McDowell has been able to shed his earlier punkish image in favor of sensitive, introspective roles, such as that of H. G. Wells in Time After Time(1979) and Maxfield Perkins in Cross Creek (1983).

He made a cameo appearance as himself in The Player and was seen in Star Trek: Generations (1994), Tank Girl (1995), Richard Benjamin's Milk Money and Morgan Freeman's Bopha.

In 1998, he appeared in the TV series Fantasy Island. His last credits include I Spy (2002), Hidalgo (2004), Halloween (2007) and Doomsday (2008).

McDowell was married to actress Margot Bennett from 1975 to 1980. He was married actress Mary Steenburgen but they divorced in 1990. In 1991, McDowell married Kelley Kuhr.
