Born: November 13, 1952 in Bahawalpur, Pakistan

Best Known For: The Jewel In The Crown and A Passage To India.

Early-life: Born Athar Ul-Haque on November 13, 1952, in Bahawalpur, Pakistan. One of six children, he moved to London when he was two. At the age of 10 he was sent to boarding school in Pakistan to "rediscover his roots", returning to England a year later. He had his first theatrical experience at school and decided he wanted to act, a choice that didn't please his parents. He tried business studies before winning a scholarship to the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in 1974.

Career: Malik took on minor roles until his big break came in The Jewel In The Crown. During the filming, director David Lean headhunted him for A Passage To India. Both were released in 1984, bringing Malik instant fame. In demand ever since, he has appeared in a host of TV and movie productions, including Bond movie The Living Daylights. He established himself as a movie villain in 1994 action blockbuster True Lies, and played a special needs teacher in acclaimed thriller Clockwork Mice. In recent years, Malik has appeared on the small screen in Life Support, Hotel!, Messiah, Holby City, The Nativity, Upstairs Downstairs, and Borgia.

Quote: "Am I a star? I hope not, because star is just rats spelled backwards."

Trivia: Malik was on the verge of being declared bankrupt before he landed a lucrative role in True Lies.
