As a child he loved to sneak and watch Richard Pryor, Bill Cosby, and Eddie Murphy, which later ignited his dream. He felt that becoming a comedian was inevitability due to him sharing April 3rd as the birthday of him and Murphy. Being that MS didn’t have a large market for comedy, he never saw himself pursuing it seriously. After graduating from college, he relocated to the Washington, D.C. metro area where he took the stage for the first time in 2001. For two years, Marion performed a few times, but didn’t take comedy as serious as he should have. After learning that his cousin, an aspiring rapper, was diagnosed with stomach cancer; he was inspired to work harder at comedy and to become one of the best comedians ever. After years of honing his craft in D.C., he decided to relocate to Hollywood to take his career to another level and expand his screenwriting and acting career.
