Actor Mark Pinter is looking forward to his upcoming role this March, but it isn’t the one that people would naturally assume. The 58-year-old is set to become a grandfather in late March when his daughter Siri and her boyfriend, former TRL host Carson Daly, welcome their first child. Mark and his wife, As the World Turns star Colleen Zenk Pinter, are “very excited” about the upcoming birth and the actor shares that their daughter “is doing very, very well.” When asked about his feelings for the  Last Call With Carson Daly host, Mark only had great things to say.

“Carson is a wonderfully talented man. I like him a lot. He’s very ambitious and and talented. They’re devoted to each other and very excited about their first child.”

Carson and Siri announced the pregnancy in November.

Gosh, when the pregnancy was first announced, I didn’t make the connection between Siri and her father. Congratulations to all!

He is currently playing a FBI AGENT on G>H most of his scenes are
with Jason aka STEVE BURTON who has 2 daughters of his own..

Finding out that Carson Daly is the father and he didn’t say anything on New Years Eve..Mark is a great actor on the show..
man is he evil.. going up against Jason’s lawyer on the show..
and wondering how long he is going to be on the show.. The russian
mobster didn’t last to long hope that Mark Pinter lasts a lot longer..

I’ve seen pictures of Siri Pinter, and it is quite remarkable how like Carson she looks! Even more support that men go for women that resemble them in some way face-wise (even if they are different skin colour and hair colour). Mark and Colleen also have a large family, six kids in total, a merged family plus two from them. Good luck to the two of them.
