Mark is a 31-year-old handsome and quirky dancer, choreographer, singer and songwriter, musician, and actor.

Mark made his Dancing with the Stars debut a decade ago for Season 5, and he's been a fan-favorite for quite some time. Mark participated in every season right up until Season 23, when he took a break.

Mark is a two-time mirrorball trophy champion, but he hasn't won a title since 2009 with his then-celebrity partner Shawn Johnson.

For Season 25, Mark definitely has a chance to be victorious again with his talented partner Lindsey Stirling, an internationally-recognized violinist.

The pair have topped the judges' leaderboard and delivered a couple of performances fans will never forget, but Lindsey is working through a painful rib injury. Will Mark and Lindsey survive the semifinals? We'll see, but until then, here is some information about Mark.
