"Even working with an American film crew in LA was surreal in itself and working on a show like \'Extra\'. The first time I went down to the set to watch how it all works, I saw Mario [Lopez] and it was surreal."

Speaking to MailOnline, Mark shared: "I wouldn\'t be afraid of being star-struck but I believe it makes me perform better. I\'m excited going into the interview and I stay excited for it.
