Though Mark's Vulcan character Sarek in Star Trek was supposedly several decades older than his Jane Wyatt's character Amanda, Sarek's human wife, it was actually Jane that was the older one in real life, being 14 years older than Mark.

Mark had trouble wearing the armor his character Urko wore in the Planet Of The Apes tv series; it gave him a great deal of discomfort wearing both the make-up with the armor, which weighed up to 80 pounds depending on additions/accoutrements.
(edit)
Mark was given a special tribute on the Special Edition DVD of Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home (1986), released in 2003.

Mark was displeased with action figures made by Mego Corporation in 1974, with his likeness as gorilla General Urko from the Planet Of The Apes tv series.
(edit)
Mark Lenard: The screen captures your persona. It's not my personality, but it captures something in me that is there, something you cannot create or fake. That's something about acting: the camera catches something or it doesn't. Those who are successful are those who have been captured, who have presence and screen personality.
