However, such successes were preceded by a long way of conquering Hollywood heights.

Mark was born in 1980. He lived in Minnesota for about ten years. Unfortunately, he knows little about his father, since the boy's childhood passed without his participation. Upon learning of his wife's pregnancy, he hurried to hide. Mark was raised by a single mother who not onlytried to put the best in her son, but also worked tirelessly to provide him with the most necessary things.

The difficult time of childhood was often recalled by Webber himself. Mark admitted in an interview that he and his mother had to spend the night in abandoned buildings unsuitable for habitation, or actually live in cars for months. Winter times were especially difficult, when it was not easy to keep warm. Webber's mother was fond of activities aimed at helping the homeless, because she knew firsthand what it was. Later, she connected her son to this. Fortunately, experiencing constant difficulties, the future screen star did not become embittered. A destitute childhood hardened in Mark's philanthropy, the desire to help his neighbor. This also came in handy in his future profession, when Webber got rare, but still dramatic images.

First luck
