Marcus Rutherford became a professional actor in 2017
Most actors and actresses are influenced to follow the craft from a very young age and the same can be said for Marcus Rutherford. It is important to note though that he only became drawn to the profession after seeing the movie Stand by Me when he was around eight years old. Marcus, in his own words, was impressed by the performances of the actors, particularly by how they interpreted the roles they were given.
From then on, Marcus was hooked and sought out avenues to showcase his acting abilities. Marcus Rutherford’s acting career officially began in 2017 when he appeared in a short version of County Lines and the next year, he was featured in one episode of Shakespeare & Hathaway: Private Investigators, where he played the role of Lee Sandridge.
