Chad Marvin is a well-respected character actor originally from Grand Rapids Michigan now living in Boise, Idaho.  He received his B.A. in vocal performance from Grand Valley State University, Michigan while his acting skills were cultivated over a lifetime of study and performing in both musical theatre and theatrical drama.

Chad’s interest in and love for film developed while watching movies as a child and later while overseeing several film projects as Artist-In-Residence at various churches over the years.

As a lover of film and an accomplished composer, Chad is thrilled to have his original song “Flying Free” featured in the award-winning short documentary My Story of Alzheimer’s Disease. Even more exciting, “Flying Free” won “Best Song” in the Top Shorts Film Festival September 2021 and was nominated in the same category in the New York International Film Awards November Edition.
