Mark Mortimer Dies: ‘Another World’ Actor Was 59

 He was not on the list.

Mark Mortimer, who starred as Nick Hudson on Another World during the 1990s, has died of cancer. He was 59.

Mortimer, who lived in the Greater Chicago area, had most recently worked in the building industry as a founder of Inside Out Construction in Batavia, Illinois. His September 23 death was announced by his family.

After launching his career as a model, Mortimer made his TV debut in 1996 when he was cast as Nick Hudson on the NBC soap Another World. He was the third actor in the role (following Justin Chambers and Kevin McClatchy) – a long-lost member of Bay City’s central Hudson family – and appeared in 81 episodes through the series’ finale in 1999.

Diagnosed with cancer in 2024, Mortimer, born in St. Charles, Illinois, on April 15, 1967, and his wife Christie founded the Integrative Access Foundation, designed to give people facing cancer access to integrative therapies that might otherwise be financially out of reach.

“Mark faced the end of his life with the same faith with which he lived it,” his family wrote. “His confidence did not come from believing everything would turn out the way he wanted. It came from knowing where he was going. He believed in Jesus. He believed in the promise of Heaven. And as his earthly life drew to a close, that belief gave him peace.

“Mark’s path took him from serving in the United States Army to modeling, acting, and eventually to entrepreneurship,” his family noted. “He was never afraid to reinvent himself or pursue a new idea.”

In addition to his wife Christie, he is survived by daughter Hunter and other extended family.
