Moving Across the World with Marcus Ako

19th April 2021 by Conor

Season 3, Episode 3

Marcus Ako is an actor, radio show host, YouTuber, stage actor, film director AND he writes both graphic novels and literary novels. Phew! If you couldn’t tell, Marcus is a very busy man, but one common thread amongst all of them is that Marcus clearly loves to tell stories.

As the youngest of four, Marcus was never allowed to be a star in the fun movies his family made. He was always told he was too young, that it “wasn’t his time.” This seemed to give him a serious storytelling appetite! When the family moved from Nigeria to England, that restarted Marcus’ attempt at being a serious actor! We talk about the big cultures shocks of moving from one continent to another, what it’s like to be in a 24 hour play, and how a chance encounter led to him being a radio host!

A huge thanks to Marcus Ako for coming onto the show and sharing his story. It was a ridiculously fun interview and I really enjoyed it! If you’d like to know more about Marcus you can head over to his website www.8ftants.com as well as his YouTube channel, Idiot on the Writer’s Block. Plus be sure to check out his graphic novel, linked below!
