Marcus Toji is one of the rare actors to play two totally unrelated characters in the same season, and now he’s stopping by Pod Meets World to talk about both “Einstein Kid” and “Kid #1.”
Marcus, an established actor by the time he visited BMW, began his career at just 3 years old, experiencing all the good (and bad) of being a rare Asian child actor in the ‘90s.
He also shares stories from the set of “Little Giants,” where he had to learn how to be “bad” at football and goof off in front of Steven Spielberg. So hit the gridiron and get ready for an all-new, touchdown episode of Pod Meets World!
