Levy’s professional path began in 2004 at Blockbuster in Palatka, Florida, where he developed core skills in customer service, recommending movies, and handling sales. In 2009, Mark was promoted to a more dynamic role at Madame Tussauds New York, part of the Merlin Entertainments Group, as an Experience Host. Throughout his seven-year tenure with the organization, Mark guided tours, entertained guests in the venue’s haunted house attraction, and also greeted visitors. This helped him earn recognition for his engaging, warm presence and humor.
In 2016, Mark Levy joined Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Brooklyn as a Concierge Shift Lead, a role he held for over six years. His leadership, multitasking, and event-hosting abilities flourished, becoming a vital force in guest relations and team morale. He later moved to The Escape Game in Manhattan, where he served as a Customer Service Specialist. Later in 2023, Mark joined Broadway.com, stepping in as a Customer Service Representative, a role that expanded his expertise in administration, creative writing, and sales. In March 2025, Mark made a cross-country move to Universal Studios Hollywood, where he currently serves as a Ride Operator.

Mark Levy, Squid Game: The Challenge’ Season 2
Mark proudly announced his participation in Season 2 of Squid Game: The Challenge, calling it a remarkable opportunity. He stated, “I’m THRILLED and so HONORED to be part of Squid Game: The Challenge Season 2. I am honored to be player 100. A number that is known thanks to seasons 2 and 3 of Squid Game. I’m so ready for November 4th for this amazing 3-week event.” He stood out early in Season 2 for his genuine warmth, kindness, and easygoing nature, which endeared him to many players.
His openness and emotional vulnerability resonated with fellow contestants, many of whom saw him as a comforting presence in the dorms. However, he also raised doubts about his ability to endure the psychological and strategic intensity of the competition. Mark’s motivation for joining the competition was to fund a Star Wars-themed wedding, something that made him a target for being eliminated. However, after sharing his own personal story, the players resonated with him and were moved by his sincerity and warmth.
His exit came in Episode 3 during the “Catch” challenge, a physically and mentally demanding game that required players to throw and catch a weighted ball under tight time constraints. Mark missed a crucial catch, which led to his elimination. The moment was described as “really traumatizing” by both fans and commentators, highlighting the emotional toll of the game. In post-show interviews, Mark reflected on how the experience stirred up middle school memories (of him being bullied a lot in elementary school) and personal insecurities, but ultimately helped him find peace in defeat. He acknowledged that while the loss was painful, the journey was eye-opening and gave him a deeper understanding of himself. He also confirmed that the castmate who bullied him has apologized, and they are now on good terms.
