This burgeoning online news platform understands that Mark Blum died due to complications from coronavirus (Covid-19) at age 69, according to a statement released by the Screen Actors Guild.

Though Mark Blum was perhaps best known for the 1985 film “Desperately Seeking Susan,” in which he starred alongside Madonna and Rosanna Arquette, he most recently appeared in supporting TV roles on the HBO series “Succession,” the Netflix drama “You” and Amazon’s “Mozart in the Jungle.”

Mark Blum was a staple in the New York theatre community, frequently appearing on Broadway, including the revival of “Twelve Angry Men,” though he appeared off-Broadway much more often.
Blum was a regular player with Playwrights Horizons, an off-Broadway theatre in New York. The company remembered him on Twitter.

“With love and heavy hearts, Playwrights Horizons pays tribute to Mark Blum, a dear longtime friend and a consummate artist who passed this week,” the theatre company tweeted. “Thank you, Mark, for all you brought to our theatre, and to theatres and audiences across the world. We will miss you.”

The executive vice president and New York president of the Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) labour union, Rebecca Damon, said Blum was a “tireless advocate” for fellow performers.

“I always appreciated Mark’s clear perception of complex situations,” Damon wrote of Blum, a former SAG-AFTRA board member. “He always spoke the truth and did a great service in informing members of our community about the ins and outs of the union whenever he had the opportunity.”

Meanwhile, fans of Mark Blum’s echoed her sentiment. Actor Zach Braff said he “could not have been a kinder human being” and praised his “wonderful” acting.

Actor and former New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon called his performances “unfailingly deep, subtle, hilarious and moving in equal measure.”
