Marlon is a Eurasian Australian Actor and Voice-over Artist. He has been performing in some form or other since early childhood. His breakout role in the King and I (alongside the legendary Hayley Mills) instilled a love of the craft and a passion for theatre. 

Moving to Sydney and then Singapore, he worked on everything from live theatre and Fringe shows to feature films and television, appearing in four Singaporean TV series and several award winning short films. Throughout this period he worked tirelessly on his craft, tutored by working actors Sam Haft, Chum Ehelopola and Kamil Haque and learning Meisner, Adler, Chekov, Improv, Suzuki and Meyerhold techniques.

From 2014 to 2022 he was the voice of Optimus Prime, Megatron, Dracula, Santa Claus, and Donkey from Shrek at the internationally acclaimed universal Studios Singapore. He also performed resort-wide VOG and park announcements.

Marlon is a skilled impressionist and has lent his smooth, articulate and versatile voice to more than 500 episodes over 8 different animated series, including the award-winning Netflix show Oddbods, and two animated feature films, in addition to dozens of ads, corporate videos, and animated shorts. 

2023 was a breakout year for Marlon as he voiced his first Video Game Character, the villainous Lee Duksoo in the popular MMO Black Desert Online, as well as his first foray into the world of podcasting.
