Mark Fostenburg is a celebrity in the Grand Theft Auto series, who appears as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto V.

Background
Fostenburg is a film star who regularly plays loner police officers in action films, and is also a movie director. According to the Vinewood Star Tours guide, in 2007, a fifteen year old Mexican girl was found dead in Fostenburg's pizza oven. The case was settled out of court and all the charges were dropped. The girl's family now lives near Mark's mansion in Vinewood Hills.

Mark constantly brags about the fact that his golf clubs are made in Japan and are extremely expensive, and also about being very famous.

Events of Grand Theft Auto V
Fostenburg appears during the Strangers and Freaks side-mission Vinewood Souvenirs - Mark, in which protagonist Trevor Philips is tasked with retrieving Fostenburg's unique golf club for Nigel and Mrs. Thornhill. He will be found at Los Santos Golf Club and will be surrounded by three armed bodyguards. If Trevor gets too close or pulls out a gun, the guards will shoot at him and Mark will try to flee the golf course.

Although it's possible to get the golf club without killing Mark, one of the gold medal objectives of the mission requires the player to kill Mark with a headshot and another requires the player to kill him and all 3 of his bodyguards.

If the player doesn't kill Fostenburg, he will post a Bleet in the Bleeter website after the mission, complaining about the robbery.
