Marion was born in Waycross, Ga. located 76 miles north of Jacksonville, Fl. He moved to the Maryland-DC-Virginia area as late teen. While working in telecommunication, he was transferred to Atlanta, a co-worker asked if he would like to make some extra money working as an extra on a television show.He started working as an extra on an Aaron Spelling production, 'Savannah', which also opened up doors in modeling.Later, he moved back to the DC area and begin to model and take acting classes and workshops, and after seeing himself on the prompter, a spark was lit. But bills and rent had to be paid. So, now it's back to work and paying bills in the real world, so the acting thing had to wait. No such thing as a 'starving actor'for Marion or for that fact a starving anything. Compromising a lot of things, food was not one. If it's one thing that his parents taught him, it was to work and pay your bills....be responsible. It's hard to do that as an actor, unless you've "made it" or working regularly. He did make some time to find a few modeling gigs.In 2009 he was in Tampa, he somehow ended up in the acting community. He heard extras were needed for a film to be entered the Tampa Action Film Challenge. He's always considered himself active and would enjoy being in a action film. So, put the two together. He met some awesome guys that were making a comedic vampire movie called "Unit 256", for the 2011 Action Film Challenge and they needed vampires. Later he was chosen for a worthy cause to be in a calendar for SPOT (Stop Pet Overpopulation Together) in Pinellas County, Florida as one of Tampa's Hottest Men. Anything for the doggies. Hide
