Work
Throughout the years Mark has done a wide range of work - it almost seems as if there's nothing he can't do. He had several roles in different series (also in Xena and Hercules and the long-running New Zealand soap opera Shortland Street), appeared in minor but also major films (like Lord of the Rings, attended conventions all around the world, manages to make everyone laugh with improv comedy - and on top of all this, he even runs his very own company,
Ovation Entertainment, and is busy with the organization of company events, holding business seminars and much more. If you'd like to know more (and details) about these things, be sure to
check out the work section which will grow steadily.
Did you know ...
... that Mark knows Hugo Weaving since they both were 17 and took drum lessons together with him? They also attended NIDA (National Institute of Dramatic Arts) together.
... that Mark as a teenager loved the movie '2001' and watched it ten times? He also enjoyed movies like 'Alien' and 'Blade Runner' for a long time and read a lot of Sciene Fiction books.
... that 'The Hobbit' was the first book Mark has read on his own, back when he was quite young?
... worked as an extra at the opera - together with Hugo Weaving - while being a student, without singing but a lot of swordplay?
... that actress Miranda Otto (Éowyn in LotR) once dated Mark's brother? She even wrote Mark an e-mail when they both got the parts in the movies: 'really looking forward to killing you in LOTR'.
