Marc Philip Goodman, or "flying Dragon", is known for "Feather Flies to The Sky" (2017), "Shichahai" (2020), "Love Me If You Dare" (2017), and "One Boat One World" (2021).
His series regular role as Leon in "Feather Flies to the Sky," the number 1 ranked Chinese TV series on prime time TV in China for the first half of 2017, had over 14.2 billion views online alone. Previously, his performance as Tommy the flower Cannibal in "Love Me If You Dare" brought him to the limelight in Chinese Television. In the past three years he has appeared in over 20 different TV shows and Films and is one of the young rising stars among foreign actors in China.
Marc Goodman originally grew up in México DF where he learned and mastered Spanish. Went to university in UCLA. Soon after he began traveling back and forth to China, pursuing his passion for Chinese Martial arts where he eventually was discovered.
It was in China where after winning several gold medals in Wushu, that people started inviting him to perform in TV and Film projects. His first project was the Sammo Hung action-directed film "Taiji 1: from Zero to Hero", where he signed with his first agency. From then on he starred as a lead in the film "Dazzling Cocktail" with his first time acting fully in Mandarin Chinese. For this role he had to learn Chinese cross-talk, flair bartending, and Chinese tongue-twisters.
Ironically enough, this western trained actor rediscovered the Hollywood dream, not in "La La Land" but in China. It was that performance in "Dazzling Cocktail" that re-opened Marc's ambition to become a working actor. Realizing he needed stronger training, however, he returned to LA and began diligently training the craft at schools such as: Doug Warhit's, "Best On-Camera Acting Teacher" according to Backstage West; Stella Adler's Art of Acting School; Upright Citizens Brigade; Margie Haber's Studio; Ron Burrus', and others.
All his hard work and drive has won him recognition from various directors, earning praise and a steady stream of work in interesting roles and projects. For this, he considers himself "the luckiest actor in the world."
He now spends his time between the East and the West where he continues to entertain audiences.
