But Mark didn't stop there. After wrapping up his time on All My Children, he continued to expand his resume. In 2012, he took on the role of Spivey in American Horror Story: Asylum, a show known for its dark and twisted storytelling. The following year, he joined the cast of Alpha House, a political comedy that aired on Amazon. In 2016, Mark landed a spot on the drama series Pitch, although the show was unfortunately canceled after just one season. Still, Mark kept pushing forward.

In 2017, Mark stepped into the world of Riverdale, playing the formidable Hiram Lodge, a character that brought a darker edge to the Archie Comics universe. His portrayal of Hiram was so compelling that it earned him a loyal fan base. However, during the season 5 finale, Mark decided to exit the show, leaving fans eager to see what he’d do next. “Playing a character that was so bad felt so good,” Mark shared in a heartfelt statement in October 2021. “I’m grateful to Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa for this incredible opportunity and to the brilliant cast and crew who’ve become family.”

Beyond Acting: How Mark Consuelos Keeps the Money Rolling In

While Riverdale was a major part of Mark’s career, it wasn’t the only way he kept the cash flowing. Over the years, he’s also become a familiar face on Live With Kelly and Ryan, frequently co-hosting alongside his wife, Kelly Ripa. This gig has allowed him to flex his talk show muscles and keep his name in the spotlight. Plus, Mark has ventured into producing and writing, proving that his talents extend beyond the screen.

Of course, nothing beats being a dad to his three children with Kelly: Michael, Lola, and Joaquin. And now, Mark has the unique experience of working alongside his eldest son, Michael, who played the younger version of Hiram Lodge on Riverdale. “Watching Michael on set was such a proud moment for me,” Mark told E! News in June 2021. “He absolutely crushed it, and I couldn’t have been prouder.”
