Biography

  • 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.

Trademarks

  • Use of the Dutch Angle. (Also known as Dutch Tilt, Canted, Oblique or German Angle).
  • In the majority of Marc's screenplays, there exists from a very subtle to a very obvious reference to a female to female romantic relationship. However, these references are non-gratuitous and tastefully presented.

Trivia

  • As an animal lover, Marc contributes as much as he can to the care and treatment of lost or neglected animals via the ASPCA and related organizations.
  • International Open Film Festival (IOFF)-Bangladesh: Category "Feature Script" Award Winner: Best Treatment/Synopsis for screenplay "Moon Shadows".
  • Marc holds lifetime memberships in the International Phi Delta Theta Fraternity, The Arts Council Co-Op of America. He is also the founder of HumaniGuardian, an anti-cult group and pro-Humanist organization, as well as an Ordained Minister with the Universal Life Church Ministries.
  • Marc was a Peer Counselor in Middle School, High School and College. He also has been active in groups that promote awareness regarding violence against women.
  • Though Marc has spent most of his life residing in various towns within Rockland County, New York. He has also been a resident of West Chester, Pennsylvania for 10 years. He moved back to New York shortly following the 9/11 tragedy. On a whim, he moved to and lived in Bloomington, Indiana for a short stint of only 7 months (it was supposed to be a year but he realized that a landlocked state was one of several reasons he did not wish to stay) before moving back to Stony Point, NY temporarily. From there he resided in Haverstraw for 5 years before moving on to Nanuet, then Thiells, then Sloatsburg, and during the later two spent a lot of his time in Brooklyn. Following an extremely painful and essentially life-altering ordeal emotionally, he needed to depart Sloatsburg ASAP, which he has been known to describe as "one of the most depressing and miserable towns on the planet where the sun never shines." From there he moved 45 minutes North to Highland Falls, NY in Orange County where he lived for approximately 5 years. He now resides in the small, quaint town of Rosendale (Ulster County) which lies exactly in the middle of Kingston and New Paltz. He hopes to not have to re-locate again anytime in the near (or far, for that matter) future.
