Mark Pellegrino is an American actor. His roles include the series Lost, Supernatural, Dexter, Being Human, Quantico, and 13 Reasons Why.

Mark’s mother Carol had split up with her husband, William Pellegrino, and had a relationship with another man, conceiving Mark, before reuniting with her husband William, and divorcing during Mark’s early years. Mark discovered that William Pellegrino was not his biological father when he was twenty three. His biological father, Jerry, was a musician and bank president, and was said to have been of German descent. A DNA test taken by Mark indicated that he has no Italian ancestry.

He is married to Tracy Aziz.

William Pellegrino was the son of Dominic Joseph Pellegrino, who was born in Pennsylvania, to Italian parents, and of Helen/Helene Mary Palmer, who was born in Canada, to Russian parents.

Mark’s maternal grandfather was Lester Woodrow Felting (the son of Carl A. Felting and Charlotte/Carrollote Danielson). Lester was born in California, to Swedish parents.

Mark’s maternal grandmother was Dorothy Jean Lamont (the daughter of George Henderson Lamont and Josephine Patricia Stanley). Dorothy was born in California. George was born in New Brunswick, Canada, and had Scottish ancestry. Josephine’s father was Irish.
