Clive has a huge fan following all over the world. When it was announced that they would be casting a new "James Bond" for 2006's Casino Royale, his fans quickly started an Online Petition to try and help him win the role. The part eventually went to Daniel Craig.
Clive was on vacation in California when he auditioned for the role of "Ben Evans" on Sunset Beach. A few days after the audition, his manager called and told him that he had landed the role.
Clive: I didn't turn to acting because I thought I was good at it. I was drawn to it because it presented such an enormous challenge. I knew it was something I'd have to work hard at.
Clive: (on his favorite charity) I just worry because we've only got one world and we're destroying it at such a fast rate. Part of the reason that "Wild Aide" is important is that, when you look at the animals we have, we're not only hunting them down but we're also destroying the habitats that they live in. By making it a point to try and save, for example the tiger, you're actually saving the habitat that they live in. I think that's almost as important because otherwise we're going to be one giant metropolis and that worries me a bit.
