In 1979, Marc Baillon got into acting because, well ...
he was French.
"I
was a member of a Scout troop that attended a jamboree in
Scotland the summer before the show began. Two members of
that troop (Mike Patton & Tim Douglas) had been recruited
for show because of their involvement in a musical troop.
When cast members were asked if they knew any French kids,
they called me. I showed up for one drama class and that
was that."
Marc
went on to take part in the 1979 season of YCDTOTV and most
episode of Whatever
Turns You On. Marc finally was forced
to quit by his parents due to the toll the job was taking
on his schooling.
"I
joined the Air Force, when to military college, was based
all over Canada, served in Greenland, Italy, served a tour
in Somalia. Retired, traveled through Asia, taught English
in Korea, had two kids, have been working in Public Relations
as a writer for the last 2 years."
Marc
was also one of the cast members in attendance at SlimeCon
2002.
