'Human Target': Mark Valley is FOX's newest leading man
Hugh Laurie, Kiefer Sutherland, David Boreanaz, Tim Roth and introducing, Mr. Mark Valley.
Valley probably looks familiar to you already, as he’s been around the TV block a few times. But this week, with the debut of his new show “Human Target”, he joins an elite group known as the leading men of FOX.
Why should you watch Valley on his new series? Well, as he explains in the clip below, it’s a lot of fun. It’s an action show. There’s drama. And there’s a wink of humor to it.
Valley, himself, has a nice sense of humor, which is also on display in the clip, and this humor lends itself nicely to his character Chance, who is the actual “human target.”
Each week, there’s a new case, a scenario in which someone’s life is being threatened, and Chance is hired to attract that threat and then, of course, eradicate it.
But, as mentioned, it’s not all business.
“There’s kind of a childish, boyish-like quality to Chance,” says Valley. “He’s like a kid [whose] parents aren’t home. He takes the car, he takes the motorcycle, he does whatever he wants, you know?”
“Human Target” debuts on its regular night, Wednesday (Jan. 20), at 9 p.m.

‘Human Target’ review: It hits the mark

Loved the show last night--I'm in. I've been a fan of his since Keen Eddie--glad to see him up front again.
We nominate Mark for the lead role in the long-awaited "Jack Reacher" film project, based on the Lee Childs character!
I too have been a fan of his since "Keen Eddie". I hope this one works out better. It looks like it's beeing given a good chance by having American idol as a lead-in.
I remember Mark on DOOL and was happy when he did Keen Eddie.
I hope Human Target can do well. I really enjoyed last night's episode.
Mark Valley has a Reacher face, and I'm impressed with the Army parallels...but...he's only 5'11"...my own height...and believe me I've never intimidated anyone the way Reacher does with his 6'5". That is his signature body feature and, unfortunately, Valley misses by more than a stepstool and a clever camera angle. Too bad. Great face, great torso.
Thanks for posting the vid !! ;)
I'll definitely give him a chance (as Fox has given him another chance). He was excellent on Fringe!
PS... speaking of Fringe, you didn't name any leading men from that show. :) But thanks for naming David B.! Nothing's complete without him! :P*
Loved Mark V as Chance. That intelligent face, macho yet fun attitude, and when he took his shirt off, now there's a fit man's bod. He has it all, including the ability to convince us so we're glued to the screen. It's also nice to see a man with experience as a hunk.
I've been waiting for this since Keen Eddie. Mark V. is in his element in a show with a "wink of humor." Thought the first episodes were fun!
Love Mark Valley - was a big fan of Keen Eddie!
