    • Trivia
      His christened name is Mark Linn Baker (without the hyphen). Linn is actually his middle name, not part of his last name. When he joined the actors union, there already was a Mark Baker, so he combined his middle name with his last name. His father made up his middle name "Linn" in honor of Leonid Tolstoy.
    • Quotes
      [during an outtake while filming Perfect Strangers] I know the line, I simply can't say it, it's not an unfamiliar problem.
