Mark Lindsay Chapman - This highly underated actor recently spent some time here in Surrey and we certainly had some good nights out! He has been in the movie business
since 1987. He was originally picked to play the part of John Lennon in a movie but after Yoko Ono discovered his name was coincidently the same as the real life killer Mark Chapman, she blocked it.
He became famous overnight after appearing on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show and made a couple of movies,
Annihilator and
American
Gothic. He then moved onto tv series, starting in Dallas, then Falcon Crest, Swamp
Thing, Murder She Wrote and Days Of Our Lives among them. In 1995 he starred in Stephen King's
The Langoliers, which is well known for its cult status amongst the Sci-Fi fraternity. In 1997
Mark had a major
role in James Cameron's
Titanic, where he played the part of Chief Officer Wilde, a real-life hero. Thank you for the signed photo I have on display in the shop! He recently played John Lennon in the
film
Chapter
