Hello Mark, great acting and a fantastic portrayal first of all! In portraying a character based on historical fact, do you do your own research on your character? Do you feel the need to stay true to the historical Cardinal Pole or do you feel a greater need to present your own artistic interpretation of him? 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Hey Mark, Great that you got a part on this great production. I know your character is a clergyman but that didn't seem to stop Cardinal Wolsey in season 1 or Cranmer in season 2 , so just wondered if you might be getting a romantic interest on the show. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Hi Mark, I have really enjoyed your video blogs and thanks for posting them. My question to you is "What was it like to play opposite a man who convincingly played both Jesus and the Devil...Max von Sydow?" 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Mark, many people have always wondered to what extent actors get passionate about their characters and sometimes they not only pretend to be like the character they are playing but also think like them whilst playing. Cardnial Pole is a strong and known historical character for his beliefs and actions. As an actor depicting his character, have you tried to think like him to be able to portray his strong beliefs and morals? Thank you. 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

You've done a lot of science fiction/fantasy/comic book type movies. Do you enjoy the genre or is it just work?
Do you have a particular role or type of role that you would like to play?

Hey Mark just wondering were there any particular scenes this season that were very challenging to act, or was it all kind of easy? 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Hi Mark. This question is from Lettice:
History tells us that Cardinal Pole was born in 1500 and would have been approaching 40 at the time the King imprisoned & executed his family. Aside from this age discrepancy (you look much younger) will the series stray too far from the truth concerning the Cardinal & the King?

Dear Mark,
When you were casted, and you did your research what was the most important thing for you to show about your character?

Hey Mark!!! Conas atá tú? I'm hoping you understood that as I just watched your Vlog filmed in Drimnagh Castle (right beside where I went to school!) and was highly amused at your "they're after me lucky charms!!" line, haha. So my question is, did you enjoy filming in Ireland and have you learned any Irish phrases while over here? Thanks!! Ciara xx 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Hi Mark! I first saw your acting watching "The Odyssey" way back in the early 90's. Loved it, and was so excited you were cast in "The Tudors"!

My question is, did you gain a greater appreciation and understanding for English history while working on "The Tudors", particularly the history behind the Reformation? What historical understanding did you take away from "The Tudors" playing Cardinal Pole?

Mark: Did you consult with any priests, bishops or other people within the church structure, or spend time in cathedrals observing liturgies, or participate in any ceremonies, to get a feeling for that aspect of the character? Do you find this valuable?

Hi there Mark, I have 2 questions for you. Between acting and your music which one would be your most loved, you can only pick one? The second question would be if you had a choice to act in a modern film or a period piece which would it be?
