Hey there. I'm Marcus.

I'm based in Los Angeles, travel all around for the craft I love. I hope to work with you and help you find the fun and deliciousness in your work. Available as reader and coach.

I have trained in Meisner, Stanislavsky, hybrids, and improv at Second City. I've worked in Network TV, Film, Streaming, Commercials, V.O. and Theatre.

I love reading and collaborating with fellow actors...help you get to the place where it feels easy, free, and loose where the character is YOU, and you have so much fun in your work. So happy to help fellow actors.

Let's do this. Thank you!
