The actor, 53, has also had a few brief appearances on Coronation Street and EastEnders playing minor roles but Emmerdale is where he flourished.

According to an article by networth.org last year, Mark Charnock has an estimated net worth of $2 million (£1.5million) In recent months, Mark’s on screen character Marlon had a devastating stroke and he previously spoke out about how he acted the part. He explained how he asked Emmerdale’s crew to cover up all mirrors when he was having a prosthetic fitted to show one of the symptoms of a stroke, dropped eyes and mouth.

“I'm not a method actor at all. But I asked them to cover all the mirrors up in make-up when they put it on.” The actor continued: “What the viewers will see is when I see it - the first time I'd seen it. It had an impact on me.” Mark, who has starred for Marlon for more than two decades, added that this preparation resulted in a very “real” reaction.

Emmerdale have worked closely with the Stroke Association to ensure the hard-hitting story strikes the right chord with viewers. Mark is a private person outside of work and has never taken part in interviews about his life off screen. However, we do know that the actor and his family live in Yorkshire with their dog Freddie.
