Biography[]
Background[]
Not much is known about Mark Bishop's past, but he was born in 1903 in the United States and later became a movie producer within Hollywood. While producing films, he became acquainted with actresses like June Ballard, and later married a young actress named Gloria. During his tenure, Bishop secretly started to sexually exploit actresses who wanted to make it big, and had his colleague Marlon Hopgood involved with his crimes. Hopgood allowed Bishop and others to use his casting room to drug and molest young women, and the former would film it and sell it for a profit. Though Gloria knew of his actions, she believed him to be a lesser monster than other entrepreneurs in Hollywood.
Around 1947, Bishop cast Ballard to be the main role in "Jungle Drums", but later casted Joan Leslie to replay for obtain better financing for the film. June was angered at Bishop, and decided to form a plan to get back him, by bringing her niece Jessica Hamilton to Hopgood's prop store to meet the producer. Mark proceeded to drug and molest Jessica, as Ballard had Hopgood film Bishop with his face revealed and kept the movie to use as blackmail. She then threatened to expose the truth of Bishop's crimes if she didn't get the part back, but Mark decided to murder June and her niece by drugging the two and placing them in a car that would fall off an escarpment. In addition, Bishop attempted to blackmail Hopgood's ex-wife by giving them a check of two-thousand dollars to prevent them of speaking to the police.
L.A. Noire[]
Due to June and Jessica's survival, the police were involved and Detectives Cole Phelps and Stefan Bekowsky were sent to investigate the incident. Ballard soon had her husband Guy McAfee order a hit on him for his attempt to murder her, which resulted in Gloria being confronted by some of the men in an attempt to scare her. Scared for his life, Bishop went into hiding at an abandoned movie set, but it's unknown if he did so after his attempt to murder Ballard or after learning there was a hit put on him. The detectives then interrogated Hopgood after collecting evidence, and Phelps chased after Bishop when they reached the abandoned movie set. Mark eventually accepted his arrest when cornered, but Phelps and Bekowsky had to protect him from McAfee's men. Once the rest of the police arrived, Bishop was sent to prison for his crimes.
