Marcus worked extensively in cartoons. This led to him being flung about from Manila to Berlin to Ankara. At some point, Marcus learned to write and the flinging stopped. He has now written over forty hours of broadcast work, including the Irish drama THE RUNNING MATE which saw him nominated for an IFTA in 2008 for Best Script. Marcus lives in Co. Kerry, Ireland.
