Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Marshall was an art student in high school, but attended the University of Toronto where he graduated with a double degree in microbiology and biochemistry.

He has also worked for Canadian radio stations.

He then starred in Totally Tracked Down, a television show based on his column "Where Are They Now" in which he literally tracks down television's most memorable icons. He was also an executive producer and a creator of the show. The show aired on TVtropolis (now DTour) and now on Reelz.
