From Zach’s show notes
Mark Steven Porro is a multi-talented creative professional who has lived a remarkably diverse life. His career began in industrial design, then moved to Hollywood, where he spent 28 years building a career as an actor, writer, and director. Mark appeared in shows like Hill Street Blues, Castaway with Tom Hanks, and even Seinfeld alongside his father. He also co-founded the Grandpa Po’s Originals snack food company with his brother to honor their father’s 1963 invention, and building into a national brand.
But his most profound achievement came when he returned to New Jersey to care for his mother during her final three and a half years, chronicled in his multi-award-winning memoir A Cup of Tea on the Commode.
