Lucius Alexander Plantagenet Cary, Master of Falkland (born 1 February 1963) is a British screenwriter, producer, and ex-soldier. Known by his middle name Alexander, he is the son and heir of Lucius, Viscount Falkland and his first wife, Caroline Butler. Born in Hammersmith, Cary grew up in Chelsea, where his neighbours were actors André Morell and Joan Greenwood. He knew from the age of twelve that he wanted to work in the film industry. He was initially educated at the Westminster School, but was expelled before his A-levels, and sent instead to Loretto in Scotland. He left with unremarkable grades and, after a brief stint as a runner in a New York theatre, joined the Army on a whim: "I had a bet with a friend who didn’t think I could do it, but I loved it. Having been a total pain in the neck about authority at school, I took a perverse enjoyment in being given instructions and carrying them out." He graduated from Sandhurst Military Academy in 1985 and was posted to Northern Ireland during the height of The Troubles. He saw active service during the Gulf War, in which he was attached to a company of American marines. He left the military shortly after the war, and went to Hollywood to pursue a career as a screenwriter. After a decade of little success, he achieved a spot in the writers' room for the first series of ''Lie to Me'' in 2009. He later became a writer and producer for ''Homeland'', and has also worked on ''The Riches'' and ''In Plain Sight''. His first wife was American actress Linda Purl, whom he married in 1993; they were divorced in 1999. In 2013 he became engaged to Jennifer Marsala, a cast member in ''Homeland''. The marriage took place in Somerset in England on 31 December. He has a son, Lucius (born in Los Angeles on 6 February 1995), from his first marriage, as well as a natural son, Sebastien (born 2004). He appeared in the BBC program ''The Gift'' on 10 February 2015, in which met a fellow ex-soldier who wished to thank him for saving his life. ==References== * *("You can all relax, Brody is back and taking centre stage in Homeland" ).
