Albert Marks

Albert's dream of becoming an actor began at the early age of 7 years old, when he was selected to portray Santa Clause, for his school's holiday play. It was at that very moment, he appreciated the responsibility of having the most lines and believed it was going to be a challenge. Not only did he assume that responsibility to challenge himself, he appreciated entertaining and keeping the audience laughing and interested with all the characters. Once enrolling into Catholic School, The Stations of the Cross play began pre-production, within its small theatre group. Albert auditioned and was awarded the part of the lead as Jesus Christ. The play was a success at the school level, recognized by the local papers and the audience wanted more. The play lasted an entire weekend and was received positively in nature. In 1999, he graduated from Ramapo College with a B.A. Degree in Social Science, with a concentration in Criminology, to pursue another dream of his, Law Enforcement. It was during that year, he was recognized by Thompson's Modeling and Talent Agency, located in Manhattan, New York. Albert signed with the agency and began auditioning for several roles including, Batman the Movie, Power Rangers the Movie and Walker Texas Ranger. He also pursued a runway modeling career. Though many opportunities arose, Albert also knew he had to break away and pursue his other dream in law enforcement. In 2000, Albert was accepted at the Morris County Police Academy in New Jersey and subsequently graduated with high honor. He fulfilled his ambition and became a police officer in Cedar Grove Township, New Jersey. Albert's drive did not end there. He was honored to serve the residents of the community, however, he also wanted to expand his knowledge and serve the residents of the State. Through hard work and dedication, he was accepted Into the New Jersey State Police Academy in 2004. He again completed the rigorous training and in December of that same year, began yet another career in law enforcement. He has served at many State Police Stations, including being selected to the Tactical Patrol Unit, which was responsible for high end security and Presidential escorts. Throughout his career, he kept the common goal. That was to be there for people in need. And yet, despite the long hours and dedication, he continued to pursue his initial goal of being an actor. In 2008, he portrayed a huge fan, located at ringside, in the nominated Academy Award winning movie, The Wrestler, starring Mickey Rourke. As he continued throughout his law enforcement career, he once again had the drive for his acting career. In 2017, he was selected to portray a Swat Commander for the internet sensation HoodPranks the Movie, directed by Steve Christopher Young, written by Chaca Fambinno Murphy and produced by Larry Meistrich. In October of 2019, Albert received a call from Larry Meistrich, who is well known for producing the Academy Award winning movie, Sling Blade, starring Billy Bob Thornton. Albert was offered the part of a New York State Police Detective, for the highly anticipated movie, Abbadon, starring Erica Alexander and written and directed by Don Capria. Also in 2019, Albert showed his diverse acting skills portraying a photography teacher in the short film, Two Sided. In September of 2020, Albert landed the role as an arrogant bar patron and womanizer in Bravo's reality show, The Facts of Wife. In 2021, Albert portrayed a mob boss in a music video for Lifetime's Salt-N-Pepa movie, with Jermel Howard. In 2021, after working closely with director Don Capria, he was offered and secured the part as an infected man, in the highly anticipated short horror Anecdota, which was officially selected for the Sin City Film Festival in Miami. Albert is presently pursuing both of his dreams as an actor, with an upcoming film entitled, "If You Have Lemons", playing a crooked investment banker, as well as serving the citizens of the State of New Jersey as a Trooper.
