Mark Damon Espinoza's breakout role as 'Carlos,' Kelly Bundy's clueless boyfriend on the hit television series Married with Children, quickly established him as an audience favorite at a time when LatinX actors were scarce in prime time television. From there, Mark went on to assume the juicy role of 'Jesse Vasquez,' the upwardly mobile but cheating husband of Gabrielle Carteris' lovable character, Andrea, in yet another hit television series, Beverly Hills, 90210.

Subsequently, Mark has appeared in numerous films and theatrical productions as well as hundreds of hours of television on such notable shows as Criminal Minds, Mayans M.C., American Horror Story, and Scandal, playing everything from blood-sucking priests to kind-hearted cops.

After graduating from college with a degree in Marketing/Economics, the Beaumont, Texas native spent two years in the corporate world before deciding a change of direction was called for. He decamped to New York where he enrolled at the Circle in the Square Theatre School and was awarded a scholarship for music performance.

Regional theatre work eventually brought Espinoza west to the Old Globe Theatre in San Diego and his love affair with California began. He has also performed at The Goodman Theatre in Chicago, Berkley Rep in Northern California, the Alabama Shakespeare Festival, the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles, Portland Center Stage, Missouri Rep and a host of others.

Cabaret work took him to Germany where he performed at The International Theatre of Frankfurt and the Frankfurt Opera House. He's also been known to break out in song in a variety of Irish Pubs in Chicago, Los Angeles, and New York.

When not shooting on location, Mark makes his home in Los Angeles where he is a proud Girl Dad to three amazing young women and a dog daddy to three rescues.
