About Mark
Born in Louisville, Kentucky - Mark grew up moving around the Midwest with extended stops in Michigan, Minnesota - where he also attended The University of Minnesota, and more recently Chicago, Illinois. His career in the entertainment industry began working for "The Oprah Winfrey Show," when a twist of fate lead to Mark becoming one of the audience warm-up guys for the show - still one of his favorite gigs. Around this time he began studying improvisation at The Second City in Chicago before deciding to relocate to Los Angeles. Mark continued his training at the famed Beverly Hills Playhouse where he trains to this day. Some notable on-camera appearances include the bong smoking adult party-goer in Superbad, the dreamer-husband in Kia's 2012 Superbowl spots with Adrianna Lima and Mötley Crüe, and various network TV appearances along with Netflix's Gilmore Girls. Mark lives by the beach in Los Angeles with his wife, children and their dog.
