Early years Born April 9, 1963, in New York City, Jacobs' home life was turned upside-down at the age of 7, when his father, an agent at the William Morris agency, died from ulcerative colitis—a condition that Marc also suffered from.

My friends would text or call me and tell me that my parents showed up at their house looking for me and I just said, “Don’t tell them where I’m at.” I shouldn’t have been selfish; I should’ve just stayed home. My brother wanted the best for me even though we weren’t close. Sam and Shelbi were best friends but they weren’t the best for each
