“How exciting can it be, it’s still great to be a teenager, you’re young and skinny and to work with Michael J. Fox, the crew and producers, that was my college,” said Marc.
“I was very blessed to be part of a great show.”
He said he is still in touch with former co-star Michael and often helps him raise money for his foundation, which helps fund research into Parkinson’s disease, which Michael was diagnosed with at age 29.

Marc said Michael is an inspiration to him because he has such a positive attitude to life despite his diagnosis.
“We get together for reunions and things like that and visits and I get to raise money for his foundation,” Marc said.
“When you read his book you see how he lives his life and takes care of his family and is not put off by anything and it is such a lesson for all of us,” he said.
