Michael Tarn is a British actor born on December 18, 1951, who gained recognition for his role as Pete in Stanley Kubrick's iconic film A Clockwork Orange in 1971.
At the time of production, Tarn was the only true teenager among his co-stars, with the others being in their mid-to-late 20s. He subsequently appeared in John Mackenzie's film Made in 1972, and had lead roles in It's A Lovely Day Tomorrow, directed by John Goldschmidt, and Zigger Zagger, directed by Ron Smedley.
After making guest appearances in various TV series, Tarn was cast in Where There's Brass for Yorkshire Television. However, unbeknownst to him, his agent had negotiated him out of the series, effectively ending his career as a film and TV actor.
Over the next 20 years, Tarn made brief appearances in shows such as Crimewatch, The Knock, and Shooters in 2000, where he played the part of Vic.
In addition to his film and TV work, Tarn has also had a successful theatre career, performing with both the Royal Shakespeare Company and National Theatre Companies. Some of his notable theatre credits include Rick in "Sticks and Bones" alongside Peter Weller, Rex in "City Sugar" by Stephen Poliakoff at the Comedy Theatre with Adam Faith, Jaques in "Jaques and His Master" by Milan Kundera, and Sam in "Crossing Delancey" by Susan Sandler.
In recent years, Tarn has transitioned to a freelance director and drama practitioner, and currently resides in Spain.
