“I want to be able to work from home,” shared the 51-year-old actor. And he recalled making the move to California years ago to become an actor. But since then, he starred in only a few films. As a result, Mark chose to “give my kids a better life and follow and pursue their dreams.” And the actor mentioned some possible paths for his children.
