Metcalf attended Westfield High School in Westfield, NJ. He is likely most known to two different generations for two notable roles. In the classic college comedy, National Lampoon's Animal House (1978), he played the sadistic ROTC leader "Doug Neidermeyer". He reprised this role in the Twisted Sister music videos "We're Not Gonna Take It" (as the father) and "I Wanna Rock" (as a high school teacher). In each video he used his Animal House catchphrases, "A Twisted Sister pin?! On your uniform?!" and "You're all worthless and weak!" respectively. He portrayed a very similar character in the sitcom Teen Angel.
In the iconic police drama Hill Street Blues Metcalf had an early key role in the first series as brash Officer Harris, often clashing with gentle partner Officer Santini. However, the role was cut short when Metcalf's character was murdered in the episode 'Up in Arms'.
In the 1997-2003 television show, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and its spinoff Angel , Metcalf played the ancient vampire supervillain, "The Master". Coincidentally, he also played a character called "the Maestro" on two episodes of Seinfeld.
Metcalf and his ex-wife, Libby, have one child, Julius. Mark now lives in Bayside, Wisconsin and works at First Stage Children's Theater. One of the plays he performed in was called 'True Confessions of Charlotte Doyle.' He is a frequent guest on the Bob and Brian show, which airs on WHQG-FM (102.9 The Hog).
