Personal life

Marc Marut is a Canadian actor who was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba. His parents both immigrated to Canada - his mother from England, and his father from France. At the age of 3 his family moved to Oakville, Ontario, where he attended École Ste-Marie. He was very active as a child and participated in soccer, jiu-jitsu, cub scouts and the school choir. In fourth grade Marc missed more than half of the school year, but his academics didn't suffer and the school decided to skip him ahead a grade.
When he was 9 years old, his father persuaded him to audition for the upcoming production of Les Misérables as an easy way to obtain a badge for cub scouts. Marc landed the role of Gavroche and subsequently had to quit cub scouts all together due to the heavy scheduling requirements of the play. His mother jumped at the opportunity to take the reigns of her son's new found career, and was instrumental in his success as a child actor. Marc began landing roles in television series almost immediately after his departure from Les Misérables, and soon became established as one of the busiest young actors in Toronto for that time period. He is best known for starring as Johnny McFarley in The Paperboy, Danny Cardigan in the Tekwar movies, Ray the Zombie in Goosebumps, and Elbert Wertz in Road to Avonlea.
Marc resumed his martial arts training at the age of 19 and became proficient in jiu-jitsu, Hung Gar kung fu, lapunti arnis de abanico, and grappling. Throughout his twenties he participated and placed well in various tournaments across Ontario and the United States. Currently he is pursuing his musical creativity under the name Cool Ass, with a music video for his song S.O.B. in post production.
Marc lives near Toronto, Ontario, with his son.
