He won a Regional Emmy Award in 2006 from the Pacific Southwest Emmy Awards division of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.[1][2] He is a critic of the Church of Scientology, having previously worked for Bob Minton and the Lisa McPherson Trust, and is the founder of Xenu TV, a website featuring videos and commentary critical of Scientology.[3] Early careerMark Bunker worked in radio in the Midwest. In the mid-1980s, he then moved to Los Angeles to work as a theater actor and as an actor in television commercials.[1] He also worked for a company doing market research for Hollywood studios, and trained as a video editor with KNBC. [1]Broadcast journalismIn 2006, Bunker along with KUSI-TV reporter Lena Lewis, won an Emmy Award from the Pacific Southwest Emmy Awards division of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, for a story on border issues in the San Diego, California area.[2][3] Criticism of ScientologyBunker started Xenu TV in 1999 and moved to Clearwater, Florida, where he produced videos for the Lisa McPherson trust.[4] In 2001, Mark Bunker and Jeff Jacobsen, a fellow critic of the Church of Scientology, were refused service by businesses operated by Scientologists in Clearwater.[9] Together they filed discrimination complaints with the Pinellas County Office of Human Rights.[9] The Office of Human Rights rejected their complaints, ruling that the church members had not broken any laws in denying them service.[9] Bunker, Jacobson, and other members of the Lisa McPherson Trust saw this as a sign of the escalating control the Church of Scientology held over the town.[9] Ray Arsenault, a University of South Florida professor and then acting president of the Pinellas chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union, also viewed the denials as acts of discrimination. "It really is a way of trying to bring pressure to stop them from exercising their First Amendment rights."[5] Since 2010, Bunker has been producing a feature-length independent documentary film entitled Knowledge Report: Scientology's Spies, Lies, and the Eternity Prize concerning the Church of Scientology.[6][7] According to Bunker, the planned release date is May 2016.[8] This film is being funded by Bunker himself and through crowdfunding. Project ChanologyIn 2008, Bunker posted a video to YouTube critical of the Internet-based group "Anonymous" and asked them to tone down their campaign against the Church of Scientology; a movement called "Project Chanology".[9] In the video "Message to Anonymous", Bunker urged the group to work legally and pursue peaceful ways to protest Scientology.[10] According to NPR's Morning Edition, Bunker has "become a revered voice to many members of Anonymous",[11] and they refer to him as "Wise Beard Man".[12] Anonymous has adopted a slogan referring to Bunker: "Wise Beard Man. His words are wise, his face is beard."[10] The refrain along with a picture of Bunker has become an Internet meme on the website 4chan.[13] When actor Jason Beghe decided to leave Scientology in 2008, he contacted Andreas Heldal-Lund, founder of Operation Clambake, who convinced him to meet with Bunker.[14] Heldal-Lund and Bunker went to Beghe's house, where Beghe participated in an interview about his experiences as a Scientologist.[14] Bunker published a 3-minute portion of the 3-hour interview to YouTube in mid-April 2008,[15] and in the video Beghe calls Scientology "very dangerous for your spiritual, psychological, mental, emotional health and evolution".[16] He also comments "I don't have an agenda. I'm just trying to help. I have the luxury of having gotten into Scientology and after having been in it, been out. And that's a perspective that people who are still in and not out do not have."[17] The video was taken down from YouTube on April 17, 2008 but was reposted by multiple other YouTube users shortly thereafter.[18] By April 18, 2008, at least 45 users had reposted the video interview using their own YouTube accounts.[19] Bunker's account was also canceled on April 17, and he believes this was due to copyright issues with a clip from The Colbert Report that he had uploaded.[18][20] Bunker said that those issues had been resolved, and that YouTube should have given him time to prove that before pulling the Jason Beghe interview.[18] Bunker believes that YouTube removed the Beghe interview after receiving pressure from Scientology.[18] A representative for YouTube told Fox News "There’s no conspiracy here.", but would not say whether Scientology pressured YouTube to remove the video, saying: "We do not comment on individual videos."[18] On February 24, 2009, Bunker was arrested while photographing the arrest of another individual who was protesting against Scientology outside of the organization's Gold Base compound near Hemet, California.[21] The protester was also arrested, after Scientology officials had made a citizen's arrest.[21] Bunker stated that five protesters had previously walked in front of the Scientology property, and crossed its driveway.[21] Police allege that the two individuals arrested were blocking the entrance to the facility, but according to The Press-Enterprise: "protesters say they were neither trespassing nor blocking the entryway".[21] A protester was arrested, and Bunker said that while he was photographing police deputies arrest the individual, he was arrested as well.[21] The protesters were released the same day, and the Riverside County District Attorney dropped the case because of insufficient evidence.[22] Awards
