"I hope people press charges because these are crimes that we're talking about," Mark told Be. "The men have got to stand-up, too."

The actor, who is married to fellow actress Sunrise Coigney with whom he has three children, appeared to see a silver-lining to the scandal, saying that he thinks it's "really hopeful so many women are feeling empowered and safe to speak about their experiences."

The 49-year-old also shared an adorable story about his young daughter, Bella, and her heartbreak over an unrequited crush.

"My daughter had a crush on another girl at school who didn’t like her and I was like 'are you alright Bella' and she said, 'yeah dad, I'm a really good friend, I'm really cute and my dad's The Hulk," he joked.
