Merrick began very young in theater in Detroit before moving to California to complete a degree in engineering. A chance meeting with a veteran actor inspired him to start taking classes. His first experience with film was with the short film team, Amalgamated Grommets, winning multiple awards over several consecutive years in San Diego and Los Angeles...including the hit 'The Heiress Lethal', a film noir comedy, which was chosen to screen at the International Cannes Film Festival.
