Q: Can I write to Mark Linn-Baker through this web page?
A: No, this web page is only one fan's tribute to an outstanding
actor. I do not have an official mailing address for him.
Q: Why aren't there more photos?
A: As I stated on my "Images and Links" page, it is illegal to
use copyrighted photos without permission. I have several photos
that I would have loved to used on this page but I didn't know where to
obtain permission. I will accept photos from other people (and give
them credit) if I know the photo is not from a published source (like magazines,
newspapers, etc.). I would love to post some photos from the various
plays/musicals that Mark has appeared in
Q: Have you ever met Mark Linn-Baker?
A: No. I have never met him and I have never seen him in
person.
Q: What's the story behind the page?
A: I love physical comedy - plain and simple. My passion
started as a small child watching old black and white movies starring the
Three Stoogies and the Marx Brothers and watching all the great television
comedies like "I Love Lucy", "The Honeymooners", and "The Dick Van Dyke
Show". I got hooked on Mark Linn-Baker while he was starring in the
ABC comedy, "Perfect Strangers". I soon learned that he had starred
in "My Favorite Year", "Bare Essentials" and "Wedding Day Blues".
I lost track of what he was doing after "Perfect Strangers" was cancelled.
I assumed that he had returned to New York to pursue his theatrical acting.
I wasn't sure of course, until I was flipping through TV channels one night
and saw Nathan Lane singing "Comedy Tonight" on the Tony Awards.
I enjoy Nathan Lane, so I stopped for a moment to watch. Then I saw
Mr. Linn-Baker and I knew he had gone back to the theater, After
that, I just didn't wonder about his career anymore. That is, not
until I was switching channels one lazy Sunday morning and came upon the
movie, "Noises Off..". Mr. Linn-Baker appeared on the screen and
all of those wonderful memories flooded my brain. I dug out my old
video tapes of "Perfect Strangers" and laughed the entire weekend.
So, I searched the internet to find everything I could about him.
I was surprised that he did not have a webpage of his own and no one had
done a webpage about him. That's when I decided to take on the project
myself. I enjoy creating webpages and I thought it would be the perfect
way to pay tribute to someone who had given me so much pleasure.
