Mark has been busy in 2020, filming a guest role in Willem Bosch's The Spectular, for VPRO TV and dubbing voices for the feature film The Lost Battle directed by Matthijs van Heijningen, due for release in December. Mark has toured the Netherlands in theatre and in December 2019 he played 40 roles in two hours as one of the clowns in The 39 Steps. In 2018 he played the traitor, in a major Hollywood film starring Guy Pearce, The Last Vermeer.
As a child he obtained a LAMDA acting qualification, awarded with honours and trained at Manchester Youth Theatre, one of the largest in Britain. Mark provides voiceovers for audio guides, learning programmes and commercials. He is fluent in English, Dutch and French. Having international business experience, he is also in demand for corporate work.
director
Mark first started directing at University in the UK. His experiences as a child in all aspects of theatre - acting, singing, dance, lighting, sound, set design, costume and make-up, made directing a logical next step. Since setting up QETC (the Queen's English Theatre Company) in 2002, he has directed comedies, musicals and drama for them. Highlights include the Netherlands premieres of two National Theatre of Great Britain hits - One Man, Two Guvnors and The History Boys. The latter toured to great acclaim at the Edinburgh festival. Other productions have toured in the Netherlands, Slovenia and Croatia. In 2018 he directed QETC's all-male The Importance of Being Earnest, which was 100% sold out and got great reviews, so was reprised in November 2019.
