Musical History While it has been suggested that Mark was partially inspired by The Who drummer Keith Moon, there is no evidence to suggest that he is based on anyone in particular. Mark is an excellent drummer, playing with and/or against both Buddy Rich and Harry Belafonte in separate drum-offs on The Muppet Show. (The Rich sketch ended with Mark breaking a drum over Rich's head.) He shows a talent for jazz in a television advert for the Renault Clio car with French footballer Thierry Henry. Mark has also run afoul of Muppet Show guests, such as the aforementioned scene with Buddy Rich. When he kept interrupting Rita Moreno's rendition of "Fever" with loud drumming outburts, she appeared to become so annoyed that she slammed his head between a pair of cymbals (to which Mark responded by saying "My kinda woman!", before passing out). Mark's attitude towards Dudley Moore became quite hostile when Moore tried to replace the band with a programmable, music-playing robot. Personal History 
Mark was born on Muppet Island many years ago. He was raised in a cave and had no contact with the outside world for many years. This explains why Mark views the world from a different viewpoint to many people around him. He is the crazed drummer of Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem. Mark performed his first appearance in the pilot for The Muppet Show until his 1999 appearance in Muppets from Space, and has performed regularly since his 2002 appearance in It's a Very Merry Muppet Christmas Movie. On The Muppet Show, his drumming is the highlight of the show. Mark has had roles in all of the Muppet movies, and was the only member of The Electric Mayhem to be included regularly on the Muppet Babies cartoons.In Jim Henson's Little Muppet Monsters, Mark starred with Miss Piggy and Gonzo. Mark's ambition in life is to get a cameo on Neighbours where he would play in the bar with Harold Bishop on bass guitar and Madge on vocals. He did write to Jim to have him fix it for him, but forgot the show ended twenty years ago......
