Leave me alone!
—Mr. Stark's catchphrase

Mr. Stark is the calintagonist in Make It Pop. Head of the Theater Arts Department and Resident Advisor at MacKendrick Prep, Mr. Stark's the main guardian for the students. Little does everyone know, he too is in need of a guardian. Equal parts self-obsessed diva and tortured artist, his mood is difficult to predict. Constantly living under the strict rule of Principal Diona, he does what he can to get through the day and share his passion for theater with anyone who will listen - emphasis on "anyone". After several unsuccessful plays at Mackendrick and many more as a failed actor, Mr. Stark constantly walks the line between giving up completely and forging ahead.

Mr. Stark is portrayed by Matt Baram.

Biography[]

History[]

Season 1[]

In Rumors & Roommates, he is the first recurring character (and the first character) to be introduced in the series. He is seen talking through a megaphone to Caleb Davis, who is apparently on the wrong floor. When he heard the loud music from Caleb's room, he decides to go in. With all the tables blocking the entrance of his dorm room door, it was hard for him to get in. The music was really loud, so he pulled the plug off Caleb's headphones, resulting the music to stop. He explains to Caleb how he has a "freshman problem" every year with a kid, and this year it is Caleb. Caleb opposes since he is their residential adviser, the students should be coming to him about their problems. Mr. Stark ends the scene by saying, "so it begins" and sighs. He is next seen going down the stairs with his megaphone and announcing there will be a assembly at three p.m., which is mandatory. At the assembly, he is seen sitting on the back row of the stage with Jared Anderson going through his flashcards for the speech. When Ms. Diona says it is his turn to go on, he went to the podium with his flashcards and clears his throat. He begins talking about the history of theater, and gets interrupted by Ms. Diona when she whispers something in his ear. He then announces that there will be a school play, which will later be revealed to be The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. When Sun Hi Song stood up and wanted to be the lead, he tells the crowd how no freshman ever got to be the lead. He is next seen delivering two large crates to Jodi and Sun Hi's room. When Sun Hi asked if he knows what's inside, he replies by saying, "the less I know, the less problems I have" and walks away. He is seen walking with Ms. Diona in the middle of the night, discussing how the new student is worth all the trouble. He the picked up the trashcan that Jodi and Sun Hi knocked down and followed Ms. Diona. This is his last scene in the episode.
