Marius Goring, the talented thespian, was born to Dr. Charles Buckman Goring M.D. and Kate Winifred (nee MacDonald). He received his education at the prestigious Perse School in Cambridge, England, as well as at the Universities of Frankfurt, Munich, Vienna, and Paris. Under the guidance of renowned actor Harcourt Williams at the Old Vic dramatic school in London, Marius honed his craft for the stage.
His professional debut occurred in 1925 at Cambridge in the play "Crossings". Subsequently, he made his London stage appearance in December 1927 at the Rudolph Steiner Hall, donning the role of Harlequin. Throughout his career, Marius performed at esteemed institutions such as the Old Vic, Sadler's Wells, and embarked on tours in France and Germany.
Marius's repertoire included notable roles such as Macbeth, Romeo, and Trip in "School for Scandal". His first West End appearance took place at the Shaftesbury Theatre in May 1934, where he starred in "The Voysey Inheritance". Prior to his stage career, Marius joined the army in June 1940, where he served as the supervisor of productions for the BBC service broadcasts.
During his military tenure, Marius worked under the alias Charles Richardson, possibly due to the name GORING not being particularly popular at the time. As a founding member of British Equity in 1929, Marius was a pioneer in his field. In his free time, Marius enjoyed engaging in various activities such as walking, riding, skating, and traveling.
