Marcel has been in front of the cameras since his home birth in Old San Juan, Puerto Rico, among a family of filmmakers. His career launching four season run in the critically acclaimed Netflix sitcom “One Day at a Time”, got him an Imagen Award for Best Young Actor and a Teen Choice Award nomination. He debuted on the big screen as the lead of the 20th Century Fox film “Breakthrough”, and that same year was listed on Variety’s Top 10 Latinxs to Watch. Marcel now develops and produces his own film projects and creative ventures in addition to acting. He stars in, wrote and produced his most recent film, Summer of Three.
Zeus has punished his son Apollo--god of the sun, music, archery, poetry, and more--by casting him down to earth in the form of a gawky, acne-covered sixteen-year-old mortal named Lester. The only way Apollo can reclaim his rightful place on Mount Olympus is by restoring several Oracles that have gone dark. What is affecting the Oracles, and how can Apollo/Lester do anything about them without his powers? After experiencing a series of dangerous--and frankly, humiliating--trials at Camp Half-Blood, Lester must now leave the relative safety of the demigod training ground and embark on a hair-raising journey across North America. Somewhere in the American Midwest, he and his companions must find the most dangerous Oracle from ancient times: a haunted cave that may hold answers for Apollo in his quest to become a god again--if it doesn't kill him or drive him insane first. Standing in Apollo's way is the second member of the evil Triumvirate, a Roman emperor whose love of bloodshed and spectacle makes even Nero look tame. To survive the encounter, Apollo will need the help of son of Hephaestus Leo Valdez, the now-mortal sorceress Calypso, the bronze dragon Festus, and other unexpected allies--some familiar, some new--from the world of demigods. Come along for what promises to be a harrowing, hilarious, and haiku-filled ride. . . .
