‘How exciting could it be, it’s great to be a teen right, you’re young and skinny and to work with Michael J. Fox, the crew and producers, that was my college,’ Marc said.
‘I was very blessed to be part of a great show.’

Marc said that Michael is an inspiration to him as he has such a positive attitude towards life despite his diagnosis.
‘We get together for reunions and things and visits and I get to raise money for his foundation,’ Marc said.
‘If you read his book, you see how he lives his life and he takes care of his family and he doesn’t let anything get him down and it such a lesson for all of us,’ he said.
