Prop Master, Set Designer, & Actor M.J. TOONE Tackles The Role Of Andy Baxter In THE P.A.C.T.

Mark J. Toone is more of a production person at heart although he is very interested in on camera work. Mark started his "Acting / Theatrical" activities as the guy who was rarely seen... starting as a puppeteer as a teen-ager in the mid-70's to the early 80's. In the beginning he entertained children and the elderly in Church and hospice venues bringing cheer, thought, reminiscence and morals through marionettes, hand puppets and miniature set designed presentations. A "walking one-man-stage" with various vocal skills led him to work in children's publishing and educational media for adults which led to trade show set up and logistics. Props and details were required for the behind the scenes work. He focused on fashion set up and wardrobe in the NYC/NJ area for runway shows

Currently, he has done extra-work in film and television. A protester in "The Dictator" (Sasha Baron Cohen), A dancer in "Musical Chairs" (out in 2012), a reveler in "New Year's Eve" (with dreads), "English-Vinglish" (Bollywood) as the "annoyed guy in line" plus a gambler during a hold up, a by-stander to a murder in "Person of Interest", and several court scenes in "The Good Wife".
