Enda Markey (born 3 June 1976, Dublin) is an Irish-born Sydney, Australia-based stage and television actor. He made his professional stage debut aged eleven in Dylan Thomas's A Child's Christmas in Wales at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin.
At sixteen, he was awarded a scholarship to train at London's Laine Theatre Arts' Musical Theatre Course. Following his training, he played Rick in the London production of A Slice of Saturday Night. Other appearances in London and the UK include the world premiere cast of Vice Versa at the Players' Theatre in London and Enda's solo shows "Enda Markey In Concert" (Jermyn Street Theatre) and "Live & Legless" (Too2Much) in the West End.
In 1996, Markey returned to Dublin to appear in the Irish premiere of Follies with Lorna Luft, Dave Willetts and Millicent Martin. Follies was followed by an appearance in Side By Side By Sondheim, giving Markey his first starring role and making him the youngest person ever to headline a production of that show. He then appeared as Jack in Jack and the Beanstalk which was immediately followed by his return to A Slice of Saturday Night in Dublin, recreating the role of Rick for a sell-out season.
