Marco Flammer was born in Benoni, a city in the greater
Johannesburg-area, South Africa on December 12th, 1979. His mother and
father, Renate and Eduard Flammer are both German and immigrated in the
late 60's to South Africa from Frankfurt and Tubingen which was then
known as the former West Germany. His home language was German while
his second and third languages were English, Afrikaans and Xhosa.
Originally Marco's education and vocation was as a civil engineering as
a result of his father wishes to have one son to succeed him in the
family construction business. He started his tertiary education in 1998
in Pretoria, South Africa at the Tshwane University of Technology and
later received a bursary through a university in Groningen in
Nederland. He completed his Dutch bachelor's degree in 2003 in
International Civil Engineering Project Management and returned to
South Africa to work as a civil engineer in Pretoria, Johannesburg,
Secunda and the Eastern Cape while completing a second bachelor's
degree part time in Transportation in 2006. During 2004 and 2006 he
also completed a Diploma and started a Degree in Theology with the
emphasis on Christian Counselling with the aim to better understand the
emotional needs and psychology of other individuals. Marco was
determined to work within the arts since a very young age as a result
of the influence and inspiration his mother had on him (his mom a
gifted artist and teacher). During his childhood his involvement in art
was through the media of painting, photography, literature and
performing arts in and outside of school hours. He originally dreamed
of becoming a graphic designer and fine painting artist to express his
creative gift on canvas but never found the time with his demanding
career and studies. Soon after the completion of his decorous education
in science in 2006 he decided to move to London in March of 2007 in the
aim of developing his creative aptitude. At first the grapple to
survive and remain in London anchored him firmly to his existing civil
engineering vocation and science until he finally reached solidity
which allowed him freedom to explore a part time career in acting and
photography as a model. His first mini-role was in 2010 when he was
cast as a double for Albert Ball (Vincent Regan) in the British film St
Georges Day.
