Mark Van Blarcom Slade (b. May 1, 1939 in Massachusetts) is an American actor.
In 1956, he enrolled in the Worcester Academy, intending to become a cartoonist, but after he filled in for a sick classmate, playing the role of an English professor in the play, The Male Animal, he decided to get into acting.
He got the part of Billy Blue Cannon, son of ranch patriarch John Cannon on The High Chaparral, despite the fact that the part had been already been assigned to another actor. Producer David Dortort was looking for a young man with just the right generation clash with authority, and Mark provided it by yanking Dortort up out of his chair by the lapel of his suit during an impromptu audition in Dortort's office. Three hours later, Mark was hired.
He is currently living in California and still pursuing his artistic ambitions.
