Filming with the cast and crew for six months, his first on screen appearance will be in June, and the channel teases he'll instantly catch the eye of fellow doctor Dominic Copeland (David Ames).
Chatting about his new role, Marc said: "I am so pleased to be joining the lovely and incredibly warm cast of Holby City, and very much looking forward to playing this complex and flawed character.
"My twin sister was born with the brains and has been working as a fully qualified veterinary surgeon for some years now. I am chuffed that I'm finally going to be able to compete, if only in the pretend world!"
Executive producer of the show, Oliver Kent added: "We are delighted to welcome Marc to team Holby and we can't wait to see him striding the wards of the Hospital. Charming, confident and twinkly, Issac Mayfield will make a handsome addition to the Keller team and will quickly brighten up Dominic's life..."
