The Hollywood star is very different to many fellow actors though, as he isn't a fan of social media and as a result has managed to keep his private life with wife Pam Dawber and their children incredibly private.
Mark has previously opened up about their lifestyle and why so little is known about them during an interview with TV Insider.

He said of their privacy: "It’s who we are. We stay home. A lot. I'm not a Twitter guy or a Facebook guy. Our sons aren’t into that either. Pam and I have both made a living in this business, and still, there’s a part of that that’s just not natural."

Mark and Pam tied the knot in 1987 and are doting parents to two sons - Sean and Ty. Pam has also opened up in the past about their decision to not share much of their personal lives with the world.
Talking to People, she said: "We're not trying to keep something secret, but if you don't want it totally exploited by the press, you have to." She added: "When you’re married, that's real life. And to go and plaster your kids…I'm sorry. I'm not for that."
