Marc Collins has had a long and storied career acting, directing, and producing for both theatre and film. It all started at 15 years old with a not-so-stellar performance as 45 year old "Harry," the staunch patriarch, in "Man of the House" produced by the local church's McFarlin Players. "Riveting" was the word used by the following Sunday's church bulletin . . . Well, really it all started with "The Cowardly Lion" in a 3rd grade "Wizard of Oz," but the production values were awful.
Marc has acted in over 75 stage productions and has worked production in over a 100 more in various regional theatres. He also holds a BFA in Drama from the University of Oklahoma. Notable credits include George Gibbs in "Our Town" at the University of Oklahoma, Junior in "Crazy for You" at Flat Rock Playhouse in North Carolina, Wormwood in "Screwtape" and Gately in "Private Wars" at TinFish Productions in Chicago, and Krivoy Zob in "The Lower Depths" with Shattered Globe Productions in Chicago.
In June of 2006, Marc teamed up with his wife, Martti, her best friend Kim, and D-7 productions in Orlando to produce and act in the educational TV pilot, "Martti and Kim's Story of . . . [Abridged]." The show features Martti, Kim, and a band of sketch comedy actors travelling the globe re-enacting both significant and obscure moments in time - with a leaning toward the obscure. Each episode is designed to reveal a different city's historical hotspots while providing both a humorous and educational portrayal of what made each locale special. The pilot will be premiering as one of only 22 selections at the New York Television Festival in September.
Other film credits, in addition to several featured roles in "Martti and Kim's Story of . . . [Abridged]", include a featuring role in "Brothers II" and several industrials for Sony Electronics.
