Mark Anthony was born in the South Bronx of New York. Being raised in The South Bronx has taught him many of life’s hard lessons for growing up fast. His passion for the arts would come later in his life. The road to life would lead him to being a graduate of Art & Design High School in New York City to attending John Jay College of Criminal Justice. While in college he served on the Auxiliary NYPD for period of time and then later enlisted in the U.S. Navy, while In the US Navy he served on two aircraft carriers.Hungry for something more Mark jumped into the acting world, taking on classes and private lessons from Actor, Writer, Director, and Playwright Bruce Ornstein to Actor Jim Moody and Actor/ Writer Robert McCaskill. Mark’s acting journey soon began from there. Over the years he would come out in small bits and parts from TV to theatre. His obsession and passion for the arts would take him into exploring other areas in the industry. Mark Anthony soon found himself not only acting but also writing, producing and directing commercials, promos and doing a TV show. The show and commercials would become Telemundo new station MUN2 TV/NBC TV. Having built his confidence and hungry for more Mark Anthony went on to open his own film company called (Man of Mystery Films).In 2001/2002, he started writing his first script based on his life on the streets of The Bronx. Five script drafts later, he felt ready to start putting his project together.In 2004, Mark Anthony put together passionate and hungry unknow talented Actors, D.P. soundmen and production assistants. Mark didn’t go with the short film, which most new directors do. His thinking was that if he were going to do a film he would put it all out there so he went for a full feature film. His project posted many challenges for example he would take on the part of a Lead Actor, writer, producer, executive producer and director to his project and with no finances from any one he took his savings to make a film. In 2005 a rough cut of the film made it way to some film festivals and into the New York Daily News. From there several companies from Los Angels were interested in the film but with no upfront capital Mark Anthony refuse to let go of the film.With 10 years in the business now Mark hopes with his passion hunger and business oriented mind for the entertainment industry that he can take his Acting and film company to a higher level in today’s entertainment world.Extended Network Banner made with MyBannerMaker.com!
