Marcus L. J. Thrash

Marcus LaQuinton John Thrash, was born in Mobile, Alabama to parents Marlon Sr. and Debra Thrash. As a young boy Marcus viewed acting as a pretending game where he imitated characters from movies such as Scorpion from "Mortal Kombat", Darth Vadar from "Star Wars", and Indie from "Indiana Jones." The young Marcus never thought his imagination was turning his "pretending game" into acing. Because Mobile is not supported with much theatre Marcus took to watching movies where he indirectly trained his imagination to expand outside its boundaries. From watching many movies Marcus came across the actor who forever changed Marcus's outlook on life and performance which was Denzel Washington. Denzel Washington's acting inspired Marcus to give acting a chance. It was not until years later he would have his chance to present the gift God has given him. After graduating from Mattie T. Blount High School in 2006 as salutatorian, Marcus received a full academic scholarship to Jackson State Universi
