Devastating news.
  • 27 Mar 2020

Actor Mark Blum, who starred alongside Paul Hogan and Linda Kozlowski in Crocodile Dundee, has died of coronavirus complications.

WATCH: The late Mark Blum starred as Mr. Mooney on Netflix's You 

Blum also starred in the hit series You and was a veteran Broadway performer.

The 69-year-old star's passing was announced by a New York theatre company, which shared a touching tribute.

"With love and heavy hearts, Playwrights Horizons pays tribute to Mark Blum, a dear longtime friend and a consummate artist who passed this week," they wrote in a statement.

"Thank you, Mark, for all you brought to our theater, and to theaters and audiences across the world. We will miss you."

Playwrights Horizons on Twitter

Mark was known for his role as Richard Mason in the 1986 hit Crocodile Dundee. 

His other stand-out roles include Union Bob in Amazon’s Mozart in the Jungle and, more recently, as Mr. Mooney on Lifetime-turned-Netflix’s You.

A number of tributes have flooded social media, paying tribute to the actor. 

Actress Rosanna Arquette wrote: "I’m so deeply sad for his family and for his fans. He was a wonderful actor and a very good and kind man.

"May you Rest In Peace and power mark. God bless you."

Writer Mark Harris added: "Mark Blum was a wonderful, stalwart actor–a familiar face to anyone who watches TV, and a mainstay, for decades, of dozens of New York stage productions. May he rest in peace."
