Baseball is Marmino's first love, but if you think it's the only sport he plays, you would be wrong.

"I used to do Jr. Paralympic track, I play sled hockey right now, I play baseball, I surf, I like to snowboard, I skateboard, I've played basketball, I run a lot," said Marmino.Back in 2021, Marmino was "discovered" on his Instagram page and invited to audition for an Apple TV+ show about a young amputee called 'Best Foot Forward'.

"The first time seeing his face on the streaming page, there were tears. But it was nuts, it kind of goes back to what I said before, he will try anything, do anything, and he succeeds at it," said Marmino's mother. An actor, an amputee advocate, and an athlete, there's nothing Marmino cannot do. And with that in mind, he tries to inspire others to follow suit.

"I always say #NoLimits, like not letting anything stop you from what you want to do, not letting anyone tell you what you can and can't do. Yeah, that's really my message," he said.
