Marcus Thomas
("Jules")

With only one minor screen credit to his name, Marcus Thomas made the quick jump to leading man opposite Keifer Sutherland in the drama Ring of Fire.

Born in Brussels and raised in Switzerland, the young Thomas first became interested in acting after watching a number of videotapes of American films. Even though he couldn't speak the language, the images captured his imagination, and he fell in love with the fantasy worlds depicted on screen.

Thomas moved to America in 1992, attending Occidental College in Eagle Rock, Calif., where he majored in political science and art. Following his graduation, he moved to New York City and decided to pursue the dreams of his childhood. To that end, he attended the prestigious Strasberg Institute for a year. His first screen appearance came as a courtroom reporter in the thriller Palmetto, in which he first made the acquaintance of producers Al Corley, Bart Rosenblatt and Eugene Musso. Thomas also co-starred with Danny DeVito, Bette Midler, Jamie Lee Curtis and Neve Campbell in the black comedy Drowning Mona and opposite Woody Harrelson, Alicia Silverstone and Rachael Leigh Cook in the comedy Scorched.
