Mark attended the University of Maryland from which he graduated with his BA degree in Film Studies. Into the moviemaking industry he dived in 1997, when he was cast as an extra for Robert Bella’s independent movie “Colin Fitz Lives!”. Later that year he made his directing debut with another independent movie – “35 Miles from Natural” – for which he also served as a writer. The latter venture earned him Florida Film Festival’s The Grand Jury Award nomination as well as The Special Jury Award, and provided the modest basis for Mark Schwahn’s, nowadays rather impressive, net worth.
In 2000, Mark wrote and co-produced the romantic comedy movie “Whatever It Takes”, based on a Cyrano de Bergerac tale. However, the real breakthrough in his career occurred in 2003, when Mark began his work on “One Tree Hill”. The series, which premiered on The WB in September 2003, mainly follows two teenage half-brothers, Nathan and Lucas Scott and their relationship, which goes from enemies to friends. During the show’s nine seasons, numerous other characters became involved in the storyline, enriching the plot. Mark also appeared in the role of Max in two episodes of the series, one in third and one in fifth season. Before it was cancelled in 2012, this engagement was providing the majority of Mark Schwahn’s revenues, dramatically increasing his net worth.
Since 2015, Mark has been working on a new TV drama series – “The Royals” – for which he is the creator as well as director and producer. The show premiered in March 2015 on E!, and pictures the everyday lives of fictional British royal family members, struggling to keep a public image of a common family, and hide their private dramas from the media. The series is currently in its third season while the fourth season is planned for 2018. It is certain that this venture has made a huge impact on Mark Schwahn’s net worth.
When it comes to his personal life, Mark Schwahn has managed to keep it private as there aren’t any relevant details or even rumours about affairs. Since graduation, he has been an outstanding member of the Writer’s Guild.
