Early life

Mark Pellegrino is a German-American born in Los Angeles, California.

He went to a Notre Dame High School. Through this school he started to respect the act of studying.[1]

He grew up in Van Nuys, California. During this time he went to college, got straight A's, worked at a gas station, and then proceeded to drop out after a year. After he dropped out he realized he needed to do something with his life and saw an advertisement for a modeling agency at a place called "John Roberts Powers" where he received some free training for a while. During his training there he was picked out for talent by a commercial agent by the name of Bob Hoover. He was set up with an agent and acting coaches. From there he was sent out into the world of acting and discovered the Meisner acting method. He had no dream to become an actor at the time.[2]

His biological father's name is Jerry who is of German descent. He had a step-father named Bill Pellegrino who his mother divorced when he was two years old. He went through his whole life thinking Bill was his biological father. To gather more information about his background he did a search on ancestry.com to find out his heritage. He found out through the website he didn't have any Italian blood in his DNA. Before the COVID pandemic he asked fans of TV show Supernatural on Twitter[3] if they be interested in finding his real father. Within an hour of posting his father was found along with the knowledge of having 2 sisters and 3 brothers.[4][5]

Career

Mark Pellegrino's first appearance into television was on season 2, episode 2 of the series L. A. Law.

He played the "Blonde Treehorn Thug #2" who stuffs The Dude's head down the toilet and drops his bowling ball, breaking the floor tile, in the cult film The Big Lebowski. He was featured in National Treasure as the background FBI agent known as "Agent Johnson".

Among his numerous cable and network television show roles, he portrayed terrorist bomber "Bobby James" on The Beast.

The second episode was in season 5, episode 5 where he guest starred alongside Rachel Miner who played "Meg Masters" also which is a role in Supernatural.

In March 2009 he was cast on the ABC series Lost for an appearance in the final 2 episodes of Season 5, to play the role of the mysterious "Jacob". Although the press release for the episode refers to his character simply as "Man No. 1", the episode revealed that he portrayed "Jacob", a mysterious character pivotal to the show's plot.

On June 26, 2009, it was also announced that he was cast in a recurring role as "Lucifer" in season 5 of the CW series Supernatural. He played a recurring role as "Lucifer" in season 7, and a main role as his character in seasons 12 and 13. He played a main role in season 14 as "Nick", Lucifer's vessel, and was a special guest in season 15.

In 2011 he portrayed the leader of a vampire clan based in Boston, MA. His character went by the name of "James Bishop" for the SyFy horror series Being Human in the first season, and also reprised his role in seasons 2-4 as a recurring guest.[6]

In 2011 he and Curtis Armstrong, who played "Metatron" on Supernatural, guest starred alongside each other as well as their characters being enemy lawyers in season 7 of The Closer.

In 2012 he played a man that took a hit out on his wife, who also took one out on him, "Daniel Drake" in season 2, episode 8 of Person of Interest.

In 2015 he joined the ABC thriller series Quantico playing the recurring role of "FBI Deputy Director Clayton Haas".[7]

Personal life

He is married to Tracy Pellegrino.[9] He sometimes teaches at Playhouse Paris, which is a Meisner training school his wife owns and runs in Paris, France.[10]

His favorite thing to do in the world is to teach[11] history.[12]

He is an atheist.[13]

He is a follower of Objectivism, a philosophy created by Russian-American writer Ayn Rand.[14] Before that he used to be an environmentalist and a registered Democrat.[15] He was exposed to the works of Rand in his acting class by a guy from Long Island, New York. He and the guy would hang out at the 24-hour Russian café known as "Gorky's" in Los Angeles to talk about politics and philosophy. He would always lose against the other when it came to politics. In order to win a book exchange was suggested where they gave each other up to 5 books to prove their points. Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead were the ones he received. From there they've changed his life.[16] One of the ways he spreads Rand's views is through a YouTube platform called the Ayn Rand Centre UK.[17]

He has described his political views as classical liberalism.[18]

He is a co-founder of The American Capitalist Party,[19] which is a refuge for those who want a party away from the main three party system in the United States.[20] Not to be confused with pro-anarchy libertarians,[21][22][23] and finds them to be amoral.[24] His party believes that free markets are the only social, economical, and political system for rational people, and that it can only exist with objective rights[25] and property protections by delegating retaliatory force to the government.[26]
