🌙 Zodiac

Mark Linn-Baker’s zodiac sign is Cancer. According to astrologers, the sign of Cancer belongs to the element of Water, just like Scorpio and Pisces. Guided by emotion and their heart, they could have a hard time blending into the world around them. Being ruled by the Moon, phases of the lunar cycle deepen their internal mysteries and create fleeting emotional patterns that are beyond their control. As children, they don't have enough coping and defensive mechanisms for the outer world, and have to be approached with care and understanding, for that is what they give in return.

🌙 Chinese Zodiac Signs

Mark Linn-Baker was born in the Year of the Horse. Those born under the Chinese Zodiac sign of the Horse love to roam free. They’re energetic, self-reliant, money-wise, and they enjoy traveling, love and intimacy. They’re great at seducing, sharp-witted, impatient and sometimes seen as a drifter. Compatible with Dog or Tiger.

Mark Linn Baker was born in St. Louis, Missouri, and later hyphenated his middle and last name. His mother, Joan, was a Dancer and his father, william Nelson Baker, co-founded the Open Stage Theater in Hartford. He graduated from Wethersfield High School in Wethersfield, Connecticut, in 1972, and from Yale University in 1976. He then attended the Yale School of Drama, receiving a MFA in Drama in 1979, and following that, found most of his early roles on stage.

1979

His film debut is a small part in Woody Allen's 1979 film Manhattan. Unfortunately for Linn-Baker, most of his scenes were later cut from the film. Three years later, he landed a far more memorable film role partly inspired by Allen himself, playing Benjy Stone in the 1982 comedy film My Favorite Year alongside Peter O'Toole. In a manner similar to his Future role in Perfect Strangers, Linn-Baker played the straight man to O'Toole's outrageous character, Alan Swann.
