Here is a recent interview Mark did with Dave Carter of Inside Kung Fu titled “Discovering the Samurai Within”. Thanks to Dave and everyone over at the mag. You can find the article on newsstands in the July 2010 issue of Inside Kung Fu magazine.
Read this wonderfully kind and well put blog about Mark and his appearance as host of the History Channel doc “SAMURAI”.
from brycezabel.com: I like this composite picture of Mark (see here) because it so captures the duality he has. He’s the yin and the yang; the fighter and the lover; the East and the West. He’s multi-racial; multi-cultural; and, as I say, multi-talented.
For those of you who don’t already know, Mark and Bryce are good friends and Bryce was executive producer of “The Crow: Stairway to Heaven”. He maintains a blog called “For What It’s Worth” at BryceZabel.com

Set to the action-packed, battle-scarred backdrop of Japan’s warrior tradition, this new two-hour special takes viewers on an immersive journey through historic Japan in the footsteps of Musashi, Japan’s legendary swordsman and warrior. As Mark learns about ancient Samurai culture, the action is brought vividly to life in a dynamic and innovative way through cutting-edge animation.
