Mark was sadly a victim of COVID-19. He died in March of 2020 at the age of 69 due to complications caused by the novel coronavirus.

In addition to being a veteran actor of both stage and screen, Mark was also a teacher of the next generation of actors. He was the director of the Uta Hagen Institute’s Hagen Core Training at HB Studio in New York. Upon his passing, the HB Studio tweeted a statement in regards to their longtime teacher.

“HB Studio notes with deepest sadness the passing of our friend and colleague, Mark Blum. A cherished and respected member of the HB family, we feel the loss of him keenly. We send our deepest sympathies to his wife Janet Zarish, to his family, colleagues, friends, and students. As an actor, director, teacher, mentor, and leader, Mark set a standard that cannot be surpassed — for artistry, compassion, intelligence, decency, and wit,” the acting studio wrote.
