Mark Wright is a graduate of Toi Whakaari: New Zealand Drama School.

Recently he has appeared as a lovable buffoon in Jason Momoa’s Minecraft movie, voiced multiple cartoon characters in Kiri & Lou, and played a murderous role in The Brokenwood Mysteries. In early 2026, he wrapped filming for the darkly brilliant New Zealand comedy Good Bones, but, as always, theatre is his first love.

He has appeared for every professional theatre company in New Zealand and toured extensively throughout Australasia. Notably, he has performed in The Rocky Horror Show, Bouncers, A Way of Life, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Ladies Night.

He has featured in some 40 different television series, programmes, and specials, and has won two New Zealand Film & Television Awards—both for best performance.

Playing everything from the dastardly villain to the romantic lead, Mark’s other stage productions include:
- The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time – Court Theatre
- 8 Gigabytes of Hardcore Pornography – Silo Theatre
- The Audience and 6 Degrees of Separation – Auckland Theatre Co.
- The Last Song – Centrepoint Theatre

- Voices From Gallipoli - Q Loft

Mark is also a talented writer with a knack for creating characters that draw us into their stories and leave us wanting more. Nowhere is this more apparent than in his passion project, Voices from Gallipoli.
