Marcus Henderson, a native of St. Louis, Missouri. Marcus attended Alabama State University on a football scholarship not knowing that his college years would lead him down a path of acting.

Henderson acts as Walter in the movie 'Get Out'. Get Out made its debut on the 24th of February on Oscar weekend. 

This is the second mainstream production filmed in Alabama that Marcus has a played a role in. Part of Get Out was filmed in Fairhope, Alabama last year. Henderson also had a role in the movie 'Woodlawn' where some parts were shot at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama. 

Marcus started his journey to the big screen when he attended Alabama State University. While working as security, Henderson noticed students on the stage and became intrigued in the craft. 

Since then, the road hasn't been easy but he doesn't plan to stop there. 

He said, "I don't even think I've scratched the surface. It's so much more. I know it is."

Marcus plans to continue his acting career and he said, "One day hopefully I’ll be able to open some doors but you know right now I can just encourage people by just like being who I am.”
