Marcus was born in the small farming town of Shipka, Ontario, to parents Linda and Hubert Haccius. Quickly realizing that his passion and love for performance out-sized his rural upbringing Marcus moved to nearby London to immerse himself into a more artistic community and begin to hone his craft. After studying Musical Theatre Performance at H.B Beal Secondary School for one year Marcus uprooted once again - this time to study Classical Theatre Performance at the University of Toronto and Sheridan College. Since the completion of his degree and diploma in 2013, Marcus has been successfully establishing a name for himself in the film and television scene in Toronto, Ontario.
