David Marston Fobbs is a multi-talented actor, filmmaker, and show host with a vibrant career in the entertainment industry. Known for his recent roles in Marvel's Luke Cage and Bluest Moon, Mr. Fobbs was recognized as one of the Actors-to-Watch in 2009. He continues to make significant strides in his career, blending creativity with a dynamic on-screen presence.

Marston's training is rooted in prestigious institutions like the Los Angeles City College Theatre Academy and Ivana Chubbuck Studio. His extensive education includes an Associate of Arts degree in Psychology and Behavioral & Social Sciences. Marston's early experience in film came with the independent low-budget short The Cluck (1997) during high school, which was followed by a chance encounter with filmmaker Mario Van Peebles, leading to his on-screen debut as a background performer in Riot (1997). After high school, his U.S. Army military service in South Korea, South Carolina, and Texas further honed Corporal Fobbs' discipline and work ethic, earning him numerous distinctions.

Marston's work in independent films and theatrical performances is impressive. He played a physician in ER alongside Thandie Newton and appeared in music videos for iconic artists like Prince, Floetry, and Kanye West. His short film Insert Shot won 'Best Film' at the Canon Hollywood 48 Hour 4K Film Challenge in 2014. In 2016, he co-established First Mind Presents, producing short films on YouTube. His commitment to his craft was evident when he filmed a supporting role in Bluest Moon during his post-automobile accident injury rehabilitation in 2016 while still medicating.

Beyond his professional endeavors, Marston is a dedicated volunteer, working with non-profit organizations such as SHARE!, Socks4Souls, and School On Wheels. His personal interests include storytelling, illustration, and football, which he played competitively in high school. Marston's multifaceted skills and interests enrich his creative pursuits.

David Marston Fobbs is a powerhouse in the entertainment world, continuously pushing boundaries and inspiring others with his dedication and passion. As he pursues his Bachelor of Science degree at California State University, Dominguez Hills, he aims to produce thought-provoking films and live productions. With dreams of hosting Saturday Night Live, having his own action figure, and being interviewed by Arsenio Hall, Marston Fobbs remains a compelling figure to watch in the industry.
