Mark Humphrey: ACTORS & Skin


'That mean I'm out of the doghouse?'


Ok, I have to first admit that I've never seen a second of the television show E.N.G.  But... as a kid, I remember distinctly seeing the previews for the Canadian drama, one particular scene was especially memorable.   If you watch the 15 second bumper below, you'll know exactly why the promo made such an impact.



The hottie coming out of shower is actor Mark Humphrey who played Jake on the show.  E.N.G stands for electric news-gathering and Jake was the cameraman who drew not only my attention, but also that of the shows executive producer Anne. (Sara Botsford)  This clearly led to some conflict, and an eventual love triangle between Jake, Anne and Mike, (Art Hindle) the stations newly -appointed new director.   The info on the show comes from wiki, and I'm not sure I'll ever see an extended version of Jake's shower scene as although it lasted five seasons, the show doesn't appear to have ever had a DVD release.

Christmas Bells Are Ringing (2019)

This past Christmas, I caught part of the movie Christmas Bells Are Ringing.  Although the film had a perfectly crush worthy young romantic lead, (Josh Kelly) I found myself drawn to the even hottie dad.  I knew there was something familiar about the face, the actor.  A quick IMDB search took me to actor Mark Humphrey and right back back to that shower scene from the E.N.G  promo.  Was so happy to find the old promo on Youtube.


If, like me, you didn't catch mark on E.N.G, you might recognize him from his roles in Iron Eagle II,  Alias, JAG, C.S.I Miami and Paradise Falls. More recently, Mark appeared as the mysterious preacher Frank Hogan on the Hallmark Channel's When Calls The Heart.  Of course, I had to search to find out if Mark had any nude scenes within the many roles on his resume.  I found two.  Check them out in the SKIN portion of Actors & Skin in the post below.
