Mark Roman

I screen act, host live events and perform stand up comedy ... and I model a bit. I also tutor kids and adults wishing to better read and write.  I am often in the top 10,000 on IMDb.  I've also done commercial/industrial work for Disney, Nike, Taco Bell, Chilies, Yahoo!, Singapore Airlines, The University of Phoenix, Converse, VMware, and Golden Era Productions.  I'm also a period piece regular, having worked as costumed background on such productions as Mad Men, J. Edgar, Gangster Squad, LA Noir and early 20th century costumed still shoots at the Culver Hotel and the Queen Mary.

I did my first fashion show, Blue Iris at Fanime Con in San Jose early 2010.  I also hosted the CityStars.us fashion show in San Francisco in September 2010.  I would like to do more print work.  I love acting, and I think that brings so much more to my modeling.

My priority is paid work.  However, I'll consider developing my portfolio on a TFCD basis with the right project.  I'm looking for emerging cinematographers who would like to film me doing various comedic, dramatic, and re-enactment shorts.  Fashion designers who think my mojo would show off their creations well I'd love to meet.  Check out my list "Strike a Pose? Mark Roman Shall Comply".

I love the dress style of Sinatra and The Rat Pack, but I also enjoy elements of the print t-shirt couture look.  Call it a fashion mash-up of Dean Martin and Ryan Seacrest.  I could make that work.  Tattoos and piercings?  Apparently I'm too old school for that.

Over the years complete strangers have approached me to say I look like Justin Timberlake, Mathew Perry, Ashton Kutcher, Jim Carey, Emile Hirsch and Dr. Robert Rey of Dr. 90210.  On a shoot at Warner Brothers recently, someone said I had the look of a young Larry Hagman, a la "I Dream of Jeanie".  It has also been suggested I could pull off enough of a Charlie Sheen look to add him to my growing list of comic impressions.

On film sets, I've been told that I "take direction well".  As a writer, I appreciate the passion an artist channels to realize their vision.  As a model, I hope to contribute to the fulfillment of such visions.
