Mark is the creator of Hero Tears, a fresh literary and cinematic universe celebrating the diversity of Los Angeles and the boldness of California. With the tag "Old Badge New Aim", Hero Tears will develop via crowdfunding from a grassroots fan base intrigued by short written glimpses or sketches of possible characters, action and mojo. Mark is known for his "Lt. Frank" live improv character, loosely based on Lt. Dangle of Reno 911! Lt. Frank, powered by the spirit of Emperor Norton, and motivated to perform a Don Rickles routine with any stranger, has issued over 10,000 "citations" (Mark created) ... while wearing women's short shorts and rainbow "tactical" leg warmers. (Ask anyone you know who's tailgated at a college or NFL game in LA.) Thomas Lennon calls Mark his "doppelganger" and "a really big dude ... a lot bigger than me." Lt. Frank was seen in the Hollywood Reporter, on KTLA & ABC news, at Beachers Madhouse (Hollywood & Las Vegas), and (almost) in an episode of Ray Donovan. In an episode of "Driving with Bill", Bill Burr exclaims "I f***ing love that guy" after witnessing Lt. Frank in action in Hollywood. Mark has worked as a busker or street performer (as Robin Williams, Rod Stewart and Penn & Teller have). In 42 episodes of "Mark Roman Empire (also a podcast)" Mark monologued on his week and interviewed his actor, comedian, musician and other notable friends in Los Angeles and beyond. Without apology, Mark's IMDb remains scandalously littered with background artist roles. Mark understands how being an extra ruined the careers of Tiffany Haddish, Ricky Gervais and Brad Pitt. While Mark lacks representation, he was legally ruled a celebrity by the federal judge who dismissed his defamation suit against a former college. Mark founded, edited & published the independent student newspaper "The Hillsdale Spectator". Then he was expelled. Mark viscerally knows what it's like to have one's life profoundly changed. While a teenager. Because politically powerful men fear what one might discover. Journalists have yet to investigate whether Mark remains on the FBI's Subversives List (the one that included Abbie Hoffman). Mark wrote the poems "Son of Elmer Gantry's Bitch" and "Pain from Parents. The Pious. And the Patriotic". Mark performed stand-up comedy in the San Francisco Bay Area, and looks forward to developing a fresh autobiographical act in Los Angeles, utilizing his unique improvisation skills honed by his Lt. Frank act. Mark works only union contracts (for covered work), and is happy to direct curious producers and eager influencers to union contract information resources. Mark remains an Eagle Scout, although he finds the entire premise colonial, archaic and quite possibly a scandalous waste of a young man's childhood. Like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory, Mark's just happy to be here. In Hollywood.
