Mark Hoadley

Mark Hoadley,a 2012 inductee into the Martial Arts Masters Hall of Fame. The road to acting and to the production of "Mark of the Cobra" began years ago for Mark Hoadley in a small Midwestern town. Being from the Midwest gave him a unique perspective of life. He knew at a young age that making movies was his calling. He didn't know when and how but he knew one day he'd be on the big screen and that nothing was going to get in his way. Once he arrived in California he began training with Grand Master, Dr. Kam Yuen who taught the very rare and unique art of Tai Mantis Kung Fu. Sifu Kam Yuen was also the consultant and choreographer of the David Carradine Kung Fu television series in the 1970's and continued with Scott Cohen, Master Kam's top student. Hoadley eventually received his ranking in as a Sifu in the Northern Shaolin, Praying Mantis Kung Fu. The film projects Hoadley has been involved with to date have for the most part been independent film projects. He has also worked as a Stunt Coordinator on various films, as well as appearing in many television shows and commercials. He subsequently turned to screenwriting and thus far has written two screenplays, the second of which, "Mark of the Cobra", is currently in development/pre-production.
