Acting is what has brought Mark to the forefront, but he’s also a very talented musician. He is part of a band called Milk and they recently released an EP. Although he really loves both acting and music, he told Coup de Main Magazine that acting give him “greater satisfaction” because he likes being able to bring other people’s stories to life.

The TV series Wayne was full of lots of intense stunts, and Mark enjoyed every minute of it. When asked about the stunts he did in Wayne, Mark told The Face, “I did most of them as far as I can remember. The only ones I wouldn’t have done were the crazy ones, like ones that I wasn’t allowed to even if I said I’d do it.”
4. He Has a Great Sense Of Style
Acting and music aren’t the only ways that Mark likes to express himself. He is also very into fashion and he loves being able to share his personality though his clothing. He has a casual sense of style, but he isn’t afraid to get a little creative and try new things from time to time.
5. He Loves Photography
Photographer is yet another title that Mark can proudly add to his resume. He received a nice camera for a gift after filming Wayne, and he decided to do some research and really dive deep into the art form. Not only did he grow to enjoy taking pictures, but he also has a great eye for it.
6. He Has Less Than 10 Acting Credits
Mark hasn’t done a lot of acting yet, but the work he has done has been great. At the moment, Mark only has eight on-screen credits and three of them are for projects that haven’t even been released yet. As his career continues, it’ll be interesting to see what kinds of roles he decides to take on.

8. He Misses Being A Part Of Wayne

When asked about who he enjoys following on social media, Mark told Uproxx that Chrissy Teigen is at the top of the list.
