Marc spent his entire childhood in New York with his parents, however, as he is very respectful of their privacy, Marc hasn’t shared any details regarding them with the public. He hasn’t mentioned having any siblings, but it is known that he has a younger sister named LaShawn Tinah Jefferies, who is an actress as well.
Marc grew up as a child actor thanks to his parents, who helped him become a child model and then an actor at the age of five. He steadily became enamoured with acting ,and although it was not really his choice but his parents’, he still eventually chose it as a full-time job and a career. After matriculating from a local high school in New York, Marc decided to completely focus on his acting career, and didn’t enroll at college.
Career as an actor – movies
Marc’s career was officially launched in 1995 when he got to play the lead role in the “Losing Isaiah” movie. His next role came in 2000, when he played Will in “Stuart Little 2” – in the same year, he appeared in “Brown Sugar” and “Friday After Next”.
He had his first voice role in 2003, in the “Finding Nemo” animated movie – he went on to appear in the “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle” and “The Haunted Mansion” in the same year. Marc could have then been seen in “Spiderman 2”, “Get Rich or Die Tryin’”, and “Keeping Up with the Steins” shot in 2004, 2005 and 2006, respectively.
He took a three-year long break after the shooting of “Keeping Up with the Steins” movie was completed, and won his next role in 2009 when he played Lil’ Cease in “Notorious” – six years after that, he played Bunch in “Brotherly Love” in 2015, Wes in “Nerve” in 2016, and “Carlton” in “Chocolate City: Vegas Strip” in 2017 which is also his latest role.
TV series
His debut TV series appearance was in 1995, when he played Kevin Wolfred in the “New York Undercover” detective series – in 1997 he appeared in “Cosby” and “Homicide: Life on the Street”, and in 1998 in “Trinity”.
He gained some recognition after being cast to play Jonathan in the “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” detective drama series in 2000 – roles in “The Practice”, “Third Watch”, and “Stuart Little” followed in 2001, 2002, and 2003, respectively. He was then invited to play Derrick Mitchell in “The Tract Morgan Show”, which he was a part of in 2003 and 2004 before winning the role of Young Green Lantern in “Justice League Unlimited”.
The year 2004 saw him in the “Fatherhood” animated sitcom, he appeared in “ER” in 2005, “3 lbs” in 2006, and “Dexter” in 2008.

Love life and wife
Marc is one of the most secretive people in the film industry as he hasn’t mentioned a single detail regarding the girls he might have dated in the past.
Rumor has it that the popular actor might be gay – it began circulating the internet only because of the fact that Marc doesn’t usually talk about girls, and is rarely seen in their company – he hasn’t commented on the rumors and therefore nothing about his sexual orientation can be claimed with certainty.
He is rumored to be currently dating an actress whom he worked with on the set of the “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit” in 2015, however, neither of them have addressed the rumors, and so judging by his social media accounts and his secrecy, Marc is currently single, hasn’t married, and doesn’t have kids.
Interests and hobbies
Marc is mainly focused on his acting career, but there are still things he enjoys doing in his free time.
Marc is very keen on keeping up with the latest fashion trends, and often uploads pictures of his clothes onto his Instagram account – he started his career as a model, and would like to become a popular model one day as well. He is not much of a traveler, but has still been to several US states and is planning on visiting Europe in 2020.
