About Marc

Actor, director, singer, VO artist, award-winning screenwriter.

Producing Partner in Oroloro Entertainment, LLC, producing several modest budget films: Producing/directing the comedy feature, MEGABALL$, and directing/co-producing the romantic comedy COMEBACK IN VIENNA, to shoot in Vienna, Austria. MEGABALL$ has been recognized by 38 film festivals, and COMEBACK IN VIENNA has been recognized by 40. COMEBACK is loosely based on a play I directed in NY in the late 1990's titled HOT PROPERTIES.

I was the 35th Shepherd (pres.) of The Lambs, America's first professional theatrical club, established in 1874, (www.The-Lambs.org), and president of its Foundation (www.TheLambsFoundation.org). After many years in service, I stepped down and voted the honorary title Shepherd Emeritus - the third such title in 149 years..

I have been serving on the NY Board of SAG-AFTRA for 17+ years, just re-elected for another term.

My career began under the guidance of Fred Kelly, Gene Kelly's brother and early television director. It was Fred who taught Gene how to dance. I began writing after the urging of Matthew Broderick and Dustin Hoffman who sampled my work on the set of FAMILY BUSINESS. I consider that film my 'masters' in film, where I was getting acting tips from Dustin, and directing tips from the master, Sidney Lumet. Working next to Woody Allen for 4 months on SWEET & LOWDOWN was also a special experience.

I am a dual citizen of Austria, with one foot in Vienna; my family goes back hundreds of years with many artists and musicians in my family tree, and cousins in Austria and the region, and have both a US and EU passport.
