According to the latest report by TMZ, paramedics came to Marc’s home shortly after 2 p.m. on Saturday, October 17, 2026. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where doctors conducted multiple tests to understand the cause of his pain. At the same time, he was placed under medical observation for the night.
Fortunately, the test reports did not reveal anything serious. Therefore, he was expected to be released on Sunday, October 18, 2026. The exact cause of the pain has not been disclosed. In fact, there has been no further information about any specific medical condition. Although the sudden hospital visit was concerning, the initial reports gave a reassuring update about his condition.
Marc had a long career of more than five decades in the entertainment industry. Over the years, he became a familiar face to fans of fantasy, sci-fi, and TV dramas. However, he has kept his personal life away from the spotlight.
For those who don’t know, Marc grew up in a family with strong artistic roots. His father, Jacques Singer, was a Polish-born symphony conductor. Alongside him, his mother, Leslie Wright, was a concert pianist. So, music and the arts were an important part of his childhood before he made his own path in the world of acting.
He is one of four siblings, and his sister, Lori Singer, is a famous actress and cellist. She is best known for her role in the 1984 film Footloose. Marc’s brothers are named Claude and Gregory. He is also a cousin of filmmaker Bryan Singer. The latter is known for directing movies including The Usual Suspects and entries in the X-Men franchise.
Marc’s personal life also involved a long marriage to actress Haunani Minn. They met while they were in college in Washington state before tying the knot on June 17, 1974. They remained together for nearly forty years, until Haunani’s death on November 23, 2014. The couple shared one daughter, Phoebe Singer.
Outside of acting, Marc has several interests such as music and physical activities. He is a trained martial artist and holds a black belt in Kung Fu from the Seattle Kung Fu Club. The actor also enjoys running, sailing, boxing, skiing, and motorcycling.
