Marc Singer(I)
- Actor
- Director
- Additional Crew
A production of the William Shakespeare's "Richard III" with Sir Laurence Olivier that
Marc's dad took him to see as a boy made a lasting impression, though
he didn't start acting himself until a teacher recruited him to fill a
suddenly-vacant role in his junior year of high school. However, as the
son of musicians, Marc acknowledges, "Performing is in our blood." Of
the four Singer children, oldest brother Claude is the only non-performer.
The three boys were hell-raisers, but Marc says sister
Lori Singer held her own, adding "She's an amazing girl and we're
very close." Marc, who has fond memories of his childhood, was born in
Vancouver, British Columbia, lived briefly in New York, and grew up in
Corpus Christi, Texas and in Oregon before going to college in the
Midwest and Washington state. "I've got a lot from each city which I've
lived in," he observes. In Seattle, he met his future wife, Hawaiian actress
Haunani Minn. They lived a California-casual lifestyle, and Marc enjoys
running, sailing, martial arts, boxing, skiing, and motorcycling in his spare
time, as well as playing Western classical piano every day. Haunani Minn
passed away on November 23, 2014 in Studio City, California.
