Charley Boorman
Charley Boorman is an English TV adventurer, travel writer and actor.
Thanks to his father he got an early start in the film business as a child actor, first appearing in Deliverance (1972) and then returning to cinema as a young Mordred in Excalibur (1981), and The Emerald Forest (1985) directed by his father. In Hope and Glory (1987), also directed by his father, he appears in a non-speaking role. More recent films include The Serpent's Kiss (1997) on which he met Ewan McGregor, and The Bunker (2001). Boorman is currently appearing on stage across England.
Charley has been actively supporting the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) since 2004. Since then he has been on a number of visits to UNICEF projects, the majority of which have been integrated into his television programmes Long Way Round, Long Way Down and By Any Means. In 2009 Boorman was made president for Dyslexia Action.
Boorman took part in Long Way Round, a motorcycle trip from London to New York via Europe and Asia with Ewan McGregor in 2004. This was recorded, then later made into a television series, book and DVD. The series was shown around the world and the DVD and book became best sellers.
Along with producer Russ Malkin (from Long Way Round) and a motorcycle team, Boorman competed in the Dakar Rally in January 2006. The event was filmed and the series Race To Dakar began on Sky2 in the United Kingdom on 17 October 2006.
On 12 May 2007, he started another journey with McGregor: this time taking part in Long Way Down, a trip from John o' Groats in Scotland, to Cape Town, South Africa. This was first televised on BBC2 on Sunday 28 October 2007.
On 12 April 2008, Charley Boorman started By Any Means, which has taken him all around the world starting in his home town in County Wicklow, Ireland and ending in Sydney, Australia. He set out to complete the journey "by any means" using local transportation appropriate to the area being traveled, on 22 July 2008. He traveled the world on various forms of transportation using air travel only when necessary, accompanied by producer Russ Malkin, and cameraman Paul Mungeam, nicknamed Mungo.
On 22 March 2009, Charley announced on his Twitter page that a sequel, tentatively named By Any Means 2, was in the works. This will take Charley and the team from Sydney to Tokyo via the Pacific Rim. It was announced in the Manly Daily newspaper on 12 May 2009 that Charley would be commencing his second series of By Any Means from Freshwater Park on the Northern Beaches of Sydney on Monday 18 May 2009 at 10a.m. and heading up to the Central Coast of NSW by motorbike. An open invitation was issued for fellow motorcyclists to join him on this first leg. The newspaper reported approximately 1500 riders took part. The trip ended on the Rainbow Bridge in Tokyo on 9 August 2009 and has been shown on BBC2 in the UK.
