Nothing's Gonna Stop Him Now

The 53-year-old resurfaced at a NYC theater event recently, looking studly.
Mark Linn-Baker
Believe it or not, "Perfect Strangers" really did air for eight (!) seasons. It also produced the hit series, "Family Matters."

Mark was a spokesperson for Peter Pan peanut butter in the late '80s and early '90s.

31. Bronson was briefly on Young and the Restless as a PR Manager for a Launch party introducing "Restless Style!"

32. I'm suprised no one mentioned the fact that just last year, he was in the sitcom "Twins" along with Melanie Griffith. I guess no one recognized him. I did.

33. This program was truly awful. It hinted at incestuous homosexuality, but the writers and/or producers didn't quite have the guts to go all the way with it. A terribly horrid concept and product.

34. I used to love that show!! It was one of the true just comedy shows. It didn't try to take on any subjects of distinction it was just pure fun. I loved the movie he starred in called "My Wonderful Life". And his co-star was in a couple of movies, I can't remember which ones but I think it was Beverly Hills Cop 1 and 2. He is a good character actor!

35. Balky(sp?) had a acting part for a few weeks on the soap opera Young and the Restless this past month.

36. He was also in the original cast of the Broadway musical version of Doonesbury (maybe 1983?). A cute, if ultimately forgettable, musical--but he was very good in it.

37. Still has that "star" look about him. "Perfect Strangers" lasted that long?! Huh. I guess I wasn't watching TV much.

38. I'm enjoying the DVDs of Perfect Strangers. Pinchot and Linn Baker were a terrific team. I always liked him, and I think he still looks great - just looks his age. More power to him.

Someone posting on the IMDB keeps saying that Mark was in the off-Broadway version of "Candide"; I keep posting that it was in fact another singer/actor named Mark Baker. Mark Linn Baker never appeared as Candide. Maybe someone else could clarify this for this poster; I'm getting tired of doing it.

39. I loved him and Peter O'Toole in My Favorite Year also! He was also in a hilarious movie with Christopher Reeve, Michael Caine, John Ritter and many others called Noises Off. Everyone should see that.
