The compact boyishly handsome, Mark Feuerstein went from being a New York state wrestling champion to a Fulbright scholar at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art by way of Princeton. Returning to NYC, he found employment on the ABC soap "Loving" and had featured roles in plays with the Naked Angels and Classic Stage Company. Moving to L.A,, Feuerstein quickly landed an eight-episode stint as the veterinarian boyfriend of "Caroline in the City" on NBC. The network was impressed with the young actor's comedic abilities and slotted him as a bartender with aspirations of being a writer in the midseason replacement "Fired Up" (NBC, 1997-98). After becoming an established TV personality, Feuerstein returned to his stage roots and replacing Paul Rudd in the Tony-winning Broadway production "The Last Night of Ballyhoo" in the summer of 1997. "Casanova Falling" (1999) cast him in his first screen lead as a womanizing advertising executive who falls for a co-worker (Amy Redford). NBC continued to have faith in Feuerstein after it canceled "Fired Up", slotting him in the title role of an advertising executive in "Conrad Bloom" (1998).
