China Marc Philip Goodman, or "flying Dragon" as he is known in China, is known for 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, with over 4.2 billion views online alone, and counting. 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 American actors in China. Marc Goodman, American born citizen, originally grew up in México city where he learned and mastered Spanish. Moved back to the States as a kid, and went to university in LA. After graduating from UCLA 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 L.A. raised actor rediscovered the Hollywood dream, not in "Lala Land" where he had abandoned his hope during college while seeing his aunt struggle her whole life as an actress-turned-director-turned-producer. No! He found his Hollywood dream 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 Los Angeles, Beijing, and Shanghai, where he continues to entertain audiences. - IMDb Mini Biography By: MG
