Stevel Marc plays Booker T. Washington in the miniseries Theodore Roosevelt, releasing globally on The History Channel on May 30th, as he celebrates 21 years of making South Africa his professional (home) base.
To celebrate arriving in South Africa (from Jamaica) 21 years ago as a teenager with one bag, $50 in his pocket and a dream, Stevel Marc has just released a heartfelt video on his social media.
International model, actor, author and photographer Stevel Marc will soon be seen on television screens globally, as the eagerly anticipated 2-part mini-series Theodore Roosevelt, with Leonardo DiCaprio being just one of the Executive Producers, releases globally on The History Channel on Monday, May 30th.
This two-night premium documentary event Theodore Roosevelt will explore the breadth and depth of one of history’s most interesting men — a cowboy, soldier, statesman, conservationist, adventurer, reformer and author who suffered profound personal loss and became at age 42 the youngest president of the United States, having a monumental impact that is still felt today.
Jamaican born, South African based Stevel Marc plays a key role, that of Booker T. Washington, who was an advisor to several presidents of the Unites States, including Roosevelt. Between 1890 and 1915, Washington was the dominant leader in the African-American community and of the contemporary black elite.
Theodore Roosevelt releases globally in over 21 territories, to an expected audience of millions over Memorial Day Weekend in the United States, also including UK, Japan, India, Singapore, South Korea, many countries across Europe, United Arab Emirates and more. Plans for a South African release will be later this year.
While South Africa waits for this release, local audiences who missed seeing the award-winning The Mauritanian at the cinema during Covid-19 lockdown, can now enjoy seeing Stevel Marc performing alongside the mighty Jodie Foster, Benedict Cumberbatch, Shailene Woodley and Tahar Rahim. The Mauritanian has recently been uploaded onto PrimeVideo for South African viewers (Amazon Prime for international viewers) to experience this explosive true story of a fight for survival against all odds.
