Meet Marquis Magwood

We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Marquis Magwood a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, so we’re so thrilled to have Marquis with us today – welcome and maybe we can jump right into it with a question about one of your qualities that we most admire. How did you develop your work ethic? Where do you think you get it from?

My work ethic is a testament to the values imparted by my parents. From a young age, they introduced me to football, knowing it would teach me more than just the game itself. Through the sport, I discovered the importance of discipline and structure. Football not only showed me how to work cohesively within a team but also nurtured the qualities necessary for leadership. These lessons have profoundly influenced my character and approach to life.

Thanks for sharing that. So, before we get any further into our conversation, can you tell our readers a bit about yourself and what you’re working on?

A South Florida native graduating from St. Thomas Aquinas High in SoFlo and a college experience in Chicago, I’ve embraced every opportunity life has offered. My journey led me to Los Angeles, where I found my true home in the heart of the entertainment industry. Immersing myself in film and production, I’ve honed my craft through classes, auditions, and behind-the-scenes work, gaining a deep understanding of the industry’s inner workings. Recently featured in “Family Business Season 5,” I’m now focused on expanding my media presence and continuing to grow within this dynamic field.

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

My journey has been shaped by discipline, a broad perspective, and an insatiable willingness to learn. I’ve always lived by the saying, “never give up, regardless of the situations that life throws at you.” This mindset, instilled in me by my mother, who always reminded me that I could achieve anything if I put my mind to it, has been a guiding force in my life. This belief has empowered me to navigate my path with determination, and it’s reflected in the depth and authenticity I bring to every character I portray.

What do you do when you feel overwhelmed? Any advice or strategies?

In this industry, stress can be overwhelming. One of the most effective ways to manage it is through regular exercise and hiking. Personally, I find that sitting on the beach and listening to the ocean waves is the best way to relieve tension and refocus. It allows me to clear my mind and strategize on how to achieve my goals.
