Stephen Hogan is an Irish actor in films, on TV and stage. His roles have included Sky Marshall Omar Anoke in Starship Troopers 3: Marauder, Adam Smith in Kingdom of Dust: Beheading of Adam Smith and Sir Henry Norris in The Tudors. He is also a film producer and audiobook narrator.


Biography[edit]

Hogan was born in Dublin, Ireland and currently lives in London.[2]

He is the nephew of Paul Logan, one of the two men behind the 1956 theft of Summer's Day from the Tate Gallery, and is currently producing a film based on the theft.[3][4]

He has also narrated a number of audiobook recordings with Penguin Random House.[5] The audiobook of The Secret Place won Library Journal's Best Media 2014.[6] His respective narration in The Heart's Invisible Furies and Typhoon won the AudioFile Magazine Earphone Awards.[7] As a narrator for audiobooks, he had always recorded in studios. During the COVID-19 pandemic, he has to learn how to switch to home recording. Works during this period include The City of Flames by crime novelist Michael Russell.[2]


Acting career[edit]

Film[edit]

Hogan played Sky Marshall Omar Anoke in science-fiction film Starship Troopers 3: Maurader. His rendition of the theme song "A Good Day to Die" is a bonus feature in the Blu-ray release of the film.[8][9] Film critic Joe Leydon wrote for Variety, "Omar Anoke, the heroic sky marshal in charge of battling the big bugs, is a charismatic celebrity and chart-topping singer whose onstage movements and militaristic song list suggest Adolf Hitler as an "American Idol" contestant.[10]

He played the lead role of Adam Smith in Iraq war drama Kingdom of Dust: The Beheading of Adam Smith,[11] where film critic Justin Richards wrote, "most of the drama revolving around the lead character" Adam and "sinks or swims depending on Hogan’s performance."[11]

Theater[edit]

Having trained at Royal Conservatoire of Scotland[12], he has worked extensively in UK and Irish theaters, including but not limited to the Abbey Theatre and Gate Theatre in Dublin and the Royal National Theatre in London.

While Bryan Cranston made his UK stage debut by playing crazed television anchorman Howard Beale of Mad as Hell in Royal National Theatre in November 2017, a new Feb 2018 play with the same name by writer Adrian Hope and Cassie McFarlane sought to explain why the character who initially played Howard in the movie version, i.e. Peter Finch, was so passionate about the role. Stage critic Tim Walker wrote, "It's a tall order to play a man as familiar and charismatic as Finch" who won a posthumous Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance of Howard, "but Stephen Hogan - the BBC Redwater star - makes a good fist of it" by capturing Finch's outrage on people who commented on his personal lives.[13]

In 2002, Stephen appeared as the lead role George Barber, who believes he has an infinite number of lives, in the Scottish premiere of Possible Worlds by award-winning Canadian playwright John Mighton.[14]

In 1999, Stephen played the lead role of Billy the chef in award-winning Welsh playwright Abi Morgan's early work Fast Food in which his performance was praised.[15]

Stephen also played the lead role of Morris Townsend at award-winning director Michael Colgan's and Michael Rudman's 1997 version of The Heiress which is adapted from the novel Washington Square.[16]
