[edit] Early career

Prior to entering the Big Brother house, Marcellas was a model represented by such prestigious agencies as Ford (worldwide), Beatrice (Milan) and Goodfellas (London), relocating him to top fashion capitals around the world, including Milan, Paris, London and New York. Marcellas has worked for designers Jhane Barnes, BCBG, Brioni, Tommy Hilfiger, Guy Larouche, Ralph Lauren, and Nautica, among others. He has been photographed by some of the most famous fashion photographers in the world, including Norman Jean Roy, Carter Smith, Michael Roberts, Patrick McMullan and Bruce Weber.

[edit] During the Big Brother 3 Season

During Big Brother 3, Marcellas lasted 69 days. Nominated for eviction by Jason, with whom he had an alliance, Marcellas then won the Golden Power of Veto, which allowed him to take himself off the block and ensure him a spot in the final four. Marcellas did not use the veto as he was assured by his friend and alliance-mate, Danielle, that she would not vote against him. She did, forcing a tie; and Marcellas was voted out by Jason. During his exit interview, host Julie Chen playfully smacked Marcellas upon the head while asking, "What were you thinking?" In typical Marcellas style his parting words were, "I'm fantastic!" His popularity rating at the end of Big Brother 3 was 66% making him the 3rd most popular house guest.

Marcellas was chosen by producers as a competitor for Big Brother 7: All Stars, and upon entering the game, his outspoken nature became prominent. Originally aligning himself with members of Season 6, Marcellas saw a pattern emerge and realized his days in the game and those of others around him could be numbered, so he moved against them with the help of Danielle and Erika, all the while trying to maintain a secret alliance with Janelle.

During nominations on week 6, Janelle nominated Erika and Danielle for eviction. However, Danielle won the Power of Veto competition and took herself off the block. After being manipulated and lied to by the alliance Chilltown (Will Kirby and Mike "Boogie" Malin), Janelle replaced Danielle's nomination with Marcellas. Marcellas was evicted by a vote of 6-0, and became the first member of the Big Brother All Stars jury.

As a part of the Big Brother jury, Marcellas was the lone vote for Erika Landin to win over Mike "Boogie" Malin. This is mainly because of the bitterness he had towards Mike. Mike went on to win 6-1.
