Mark Charnock, our beloved Maron Dingle from Emmerdale, has jumped on a new initiative. Though we are used to seeing him at the center stage of all things drama, maybe this time, it’s going to be starkly different. And we think this new initiative will make us love him even more – we can’t be more proud of him. Let us uncover the actor’s new mission!
Mark’s New Project
Mark, popularly known as Marlon Dingle, has played a major role in television since 1996. But recently, he appeared on Good Morning Britain to discuss the campaign “1 Million Minutes” behind his film Life Long Fans.
What makes the campaign so special is its ability to tackle loneliness in the United Kingdom. The hosts of the show were also present there, namely Susanna Reid and Ed Balls as Charnock appeared in the studio.
What Mark Had to Share Regarding the Campaign
In context to the campaign “1 Million Minutes”, Mark said: “I think it’s a testament to the people in this country, the generosity of spirit. What could be more generous? People give money, and it’s amazing. It makes such a difference, but what could be more generous than giving yourself? The small things you can do that can make such big changes to people – change their lives, make everything better, and I think it’s a wonderful thing.
I’m so proud to be supporting this year’s Good Morning Britain’s 1 Million Minutes campaign. When I was asked to direct this year’s film, I was completely flattered and a bit shocked and scared. I had seen a couple of the other films down the years, and I’d done a few bits for the campaign, so I knew what it was about already and how significant it is to so many people. We’ve all experienced feeling lonely…
This year I’m joining a volunteer hosting an afternoon tea for a magnificent lady who is about to turn 108, and Ed will be showing off his culinary skills as a lunch club volunteer. We really hope that our amazing viewers can offer some of their own time as together we can help tackle loneliness.” Does it mean we will see more of Mark and less of Maron Dingle? Or can the actor balance both equally? Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more Emmerdale updates. Meanwhile, keep checking to see what’s next for him.
