Mark Ubique began his career making short public service announcements on the radio. He was noticed by producers and became a favourite in the wartime broadcasts Mental-man Jim (in which he also contributed to the writing) and in the drama Drenched - the story of the flooding of London. After the war he moved onto screen acting and made several well received shorts. Spotted by Ann Taylor he was signed to Whiskerino to appear in what would become one of the most troubled productions he was ever associated with. |

| Ubique appeared in only one Whiskerino film, playing an important role in the epic Ebenezer. He worked at the studios during the early filming of the project in 1949 and 1950. The work was gruelling with shooting through the night in the dusty old house sets. With constant reshoots, casting difficulties and problems with the mechanical seagull he worked solidly for some eighteen months on the film. He left looking for more demanding roles in the autumn of 1950. Madge Flyshuttle was keen for him to stay on and appear in the Horror Canon in a double act, but this did not interest him. |

| Ubique left to act and direct several other films for different studios. He would achieve fame later with his portrayal of the title role in Gerry Patrick's Ark, a comedy which he co-wrote. |
