A regular at the Aspen and Montreal comedy festivals, Marley has appeared in several films, including the cult favorite, "Boondock Saints."

The peripatetic Marley works nonstop throughout the country, in such cities as Los Angles, Las Vegas, Washington, D.C., Boston, New York and Denver.

After living in Los Angles for several years, he, his wife and three children have returned to Maine to live.
