They have talented genes: Mark and Amy Huberman
They have talented genes: Mark and Amy Huberman

It looks like Amy Huberman's brother, Mark, is set to become a star in his own right after landing two major roles in television and theatre. 

Mark, who has had minor roles in Frank, Boy Eats Girl, Pure Mule and Noble, looks set to follow in the footsteps of his famous sibling, after signing up to star in TV3’s 1916 drama Trial of the Century alongside Love/Hate's Tom Vaughan-Lawlor and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf in Dublin’s Gate Theatre.

The 35-year-old actor insists he didn't grow up in a pushy stage school house and admits he does have concerns about handling media attention as well as his older sister.

“I don’t know. It just happened. It is bananas. It wasn’t as if it was a ‘stage school’ house, or Hollywood parents, bringing you to auditions when you were six," he told Independent.ie.

“I’m not sure. I mean, Amy is so talented and so brilliant at what she does, and so good at handling people’s appreciation for what she does, that she can be in that world so easily.

“I haven’t done many interviews. I’m just less comfortable with attention really.

“I’m not saying Amy’s massively comfortable with it, but I mean if you watch her in an interview on telly, she’s amazing at it,” he added.

The siblings have only ever shared a set once when he played a patient checking into The Clinic.

Mark previously said that he draws on childhood arguments with Amy for inspiration on stage.
