The actor was not the only Margolis to go into acting, as his son Morgan decided to try his hand in the business as well. However, he did not have anywhere near the amount of acting credits as his father, and after serving tiny roles in films and television shows, he seemingly left the business entirely in 2010.
Mark is survived by his wife Jacqueline, his son Morgan, and his three grandchildren. His final acting performances have already been televised, but his legacy will continue to live on.
