He started his career 1987 with the role of Tony in the TV series “The Ritz”, and continued with minor appearances in such TV series as “A Very Peculiar Practice” (1988), “Married with Children” (1992), and “Band of Gold”. His first breakthrough was the role of D.C. Gary Boyle in the TV comedy series “The Thin Blue Line” in 1996, while in 1997 he came to prominence with the role of Dave in the comedy-drama film “The Full Monty”, starring next to Robert Carlyle and Tom Wilkinson, a role which earned him a BAFTA Film Award nomination in the category for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role, and won him a SAG Award. Before the ‘90s ended, Mark made several more successful appearances, such as Mac MacArthur in the family comedy “Jack Frost”, with Michael Keaton, Kelly Preston and Joseph Cross in the lead roles.

He started the new millennium with the lead role in the romantic comedy film “The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas”, starring next to Stephen Baldwin and Kristen Johnston, and continued with successful appearances in such films as the action adventure “A Knight’s Tale” (2001), in which he starred next to Heath Ledger and Rufus Sewell, then in 2002 he starred in the Academy Award nominated sci-fi action adventure “The Time Machine”, alongside Guy Pearce and Yancey Arias, which increased his net worth considerably. After that, Mark became more focused on theater work, but also had a couple of screen roles such as in the Academy Award-nominated comedy-drama “Barney’s Version” (2010), with Paul Giamatti, Rosamund Pike and Jake Hoffman in the lead roles. In 2011 he portrayed Robert Baratheon in the critically-acclaimed HBO fantasy drama series “Game of Thrones”, based on novels by George R.R. Martin, further increasing his net worth.
Since then, he appeared in a string of television roles, most notably as Hercules in the TV series “Atlantis” (2013-2015), and as DS Derek Sands in the TV series “New Blood” in 2016.

One of the differences between HBO and other television is that they demand the same coverage that you would have in a feature film. We need to have all the shots in order to make it as rich and as stunning as it looks. We can't cut any corners.

It's nice to have material things but they're very superficial aren't they?
