Mark Adams - AKA Dean Martin - at WJCT

Had the wonderful opportunity of taking Mark Adams, or Dean Martin as he appears in tonight's show "That's Amore - A Dean Martin & Friends Holiday Special", to the WJCT studios this morning for an interview with Melissa Ross on First Coast Connect. Always a great time and a wonderful show!

Hilary and "Dean"

Melissa and Mark had a great conversation about
Dean's life and the huge presence he had both
on and off the stage, despite being a very private man.

Apparantly, Dean was known as the "Drunk One",
always having a drink in his hand. It was actually apple juice!


After a great interview, Mark transformed his natural
British accent into Dean's All American voice for
"Ain't That A Kick In The Head".

Don't miss "That's Amore - A Dean Martin & Friends Holiday Special" tonight at the Times Union Center's Moran Theater at 7:30pm! Call The Artist Series Box Office at 632-3373 or visit us online for tickets!
