NOTABLE CREDITS: Father Pete on AW; a bit part in the feature film, THE INNOCENT
WHY HE HAS STAR POTENTIAL: Having so seamlessly stepped into a role fans were
furious to see recast is proof enough of Valley's abilities. Incorporating what
initially made the character popular -- fire, sarcasm and a lovable, oafish
quality -- Valley has helped define Jack by adding an intellect and a sensuality
that was sorely missing. His effortless ways and interesting presence enhance
every scene. Valley also doesn't take himself too seriously, and that translates
wonderfully on-screen.
COMMENT FROM CO-WORKER: "Well, first of all, let's face it: Mark's gorgeous. He
has a presence and a fresh quality, and he is able to connect with other actors
in a unique way. He has a sensitivity and depth that enhance his performance,
and his responses are very real, not pat. Mark has a broad range, and I think
that his potential is as big as one can go." -- Jaime Lyn Bauer
