Marc I. Daniels
- Actor
- Producer
- Additional Crew
Marc's earliest memory of acting was in third grade by playing a School
Bully in an after school program. He thought he saw he the end of his
career early after playing "Eeyore" in a summer camp production of
"Winnie The Pooh" and forgetting a verse of his song. But after falling
off that horse, he slowly climbed back on. He had a tendency to hang
around the community theatre scene where his Mother and Stepfather had
active roles in several successful shows, including The Sunshine Boys,
where Marc attended so many rehearsals that he began to easily memorize
the lines of the main actors and to this day remembers many of them. It
was his ease of memorizing lines that coerced his mother to encourage
him to act himself. This was a nagging angel to Marc until 10th grade
when he saw a touring show of "Up With People" at his 2nd High School
and was mesmerized. By 11th Grade he had made the decision to abandon
school sports to pursue theatre. He started off with a bang in an
unorthodox manner, playing "Riff" in West Side Story as a Junior in the
School's Senior show. After that, he was in almost every show at school
until being accepted into West Chester University's Theatre Dept. as an
Acting major, where he honed his craft and learned so much abut acting
that he cold be quoted as saying "I don't know how I acted at all
before college, before knowing what I learned, but somehow I did."
After (to quote) "one of the worst experiences of his life,
theatrically or otherwise" in a community theatre production of
Dracula, he decided to give stage one more try by playing Chris in the
lighthearted comedy "Beau Jest" at a different local theatre where he,
thankfully, had the opposite experience as the aforementioned. He
decided to end on a high note and took an indefinite hiatus from
theatre to pursue the world of film. He has since acted as everything
from background to leading roles in many short films, feature films,
and television. He is also a professional writer of screenplays and
wishes to continue being a quadruple threat as actor, writer, director
and producer.
