Harry Kalas, the legendary voice of NFL Films, was not only a childhood inspiration to Marc, but would also become one of his most famous and accomplished clients.

In the Harry Kalas biography, Marc is credited with contributing to Kalas’ very successful commercial career. “…Eileen (Kalas’ wife) handpicked Marc Guss, a young agent then with the prestigious William Morris Agency….” “At the end, Harry was making more money from the commercials than he ever made with us,” Steve Sabol (NFL Films) said.”
