If Marcus Brodie Was Not in Entertainment He Might Be...

I was jumping between different degrees and schools, not really knowing what I wanted to do. Honestly, I don't know if I could see myself doing anything else. That is part of why I'm pursuing acting. I just couldn't picture myself doing anything different."
What Marcus Says is the Best Thing About Being His Age
On the best thing about being his age, at this stage of his life, he stated, "I feel like I'm emotionally mature enough to have gained a good amount of life experience, but I'm still young enough that I don't feel old.
