Mark resides in London, England with his wife Patsy and their twin boys, alongside his two older daughters from a previous marriage, one of whom, Sienna, has followed in his footsteps into the entertainment industry.
He initiated his professional career in his late 20s in 1991 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada, under the guidance of Robin Phillips, who was then the Director General of the Edmonton Citadel Theatre, and cast him in Peter Shaffer's 'The Royal Hunt of the Sun', playing the role of Villac Umu, Chief Priest of the Inca Empire. Concurrently, he was a full-time police officer with the Edmonton Police Service. However, this did not deter his acting aspirations. He went on to perform in several more plays at the Citadel Theatre before making the decision to leave the police service in early 1996, when he accepted a summer contract with Bard on the Beach, a Shakespeare Festival in Vancouver, British Columbia, performing in 'The Merchant of Venice' and 'Much Ado About Nothing'. Later that same year, his film and television career began, where he was fortunate to collaborate with some exceptional directors and actors on numerous captivating projects. In 2003, his adventurous nature led him back to London, England, where he has continued his career, and has not looked back since.
Throughout his life, Mark has led an eclectic existence, having also served as a police officer in the Metropolitan Police Service in London, England, during the early 1980s. He competed for Great Britain and Canada in bobsledding during the mid-to-late 1980s. Prior to this, he was a track and field athlete, his primary events being the 200m and 400m. Moreover, he achieved fame by winning the International Police Olympic decathlon in Austin, Texas in 1982, where he also broke the championship record.
Mark continues to look forward to more and more intriguing and exhilarating film, television, and theatre projects.
