Biography

Taking to the stage at an early age, Mark found theatre to be a great way to overcome shyness, and he has since appeared in over 80 theatrical productions. His first taste of a movie set came in 1976 when he and his friends tried to sneak onto the set of The Shootist (John Wayne's final film) which was being shot in Carson City, Nevada where Mark lived at the time. In 1983, Mark was "discovered" by director William Olsen while performing in a play, and was offered a role in the feature film Getting It On. After receiving his college theatre degree in 1987, Mark moved to New York City to pursue his dream of being an actor. After six months in the big apple he moved to Virginia Beach, VA where he would begin a 20 year career in radio. He retired from radio and resumed his acting career in 2006 and has since acted in many television commercials, feature films and television series.
