Glenn Leigh Marshall(1947-2002)
- Actor
Born to an English mother and Greek father, he grew up with his mother,
grandmother and great-grandmother on Chicago's south side. In 1968 he
married and began his acting career in Chicago. He relocated his wife
and three children to Los Angeles and found work primarily as a day
player, stuntman and under five (meaning a part with under five lines
to speak). His most prominent role was as a drill instructor in the
Clint Eastwood star vehicle "The Enforcer". With some work under his
belt, he took his career ambitions overseas. Using a letter of
introduction from a prominent actor he flew to Italy where he performed
as both actor and stuntman in a number of television productions. After
voice over work in Europe, he flew back to the US to live with his two
children in Los Angeles and continue to pursue his career stateside. He
was diagnosed with cancer in the early 1990's. He successfully won his
first onslaught with the disease, but the cancer returned in the late
90's. He informed his family that he was going to refuse chemotherapy
the second time around. He was found dead in his Tuscon, Arizona
apartment April 24th. Upon his death, his remains were sent back to his
home town of Chicago where he is interred at St. Michael the Archangel
cemetery. Mr. Marshall's stage name is based upon the initials of his
three daughters, Gina, Linda, and Marie.
