Marco Banderas (born February 13, 1967) is a Uruguayan-born Spanish pornographic actor and aspiring singer.[4]

Early life

Banderas was born in Uruguay and raised in Barcelona.[3] He speaks Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, and Catalan fluently and is trying to improve his English as well.[5]

Career

Banderas and his wife, Lisa DeMarco, worked at the Bagdad Sex Club for three years where they were approached by Nacho Vidal during the Barcelona International Erotic Film Festival.[3] He entered the adult film industry in 2005 under the stage name Marco Duato.[2] He became frustrated with the surname because it was often misspelled as "Duarte", so he changed it to "Banderas".[5]

Banderas launched his own production company, Hot Zone Productions, in April 2007, signed a distribution deal with American Xcess in August, and released the company's first film, Marco Banderas’ Crazy Dreams, in September.[6] In October, he launched his own website, MarcoBanderasXXX.com.[7][8]

In January 2008, sex toy manufacturer Topco Sales unveiled a replica of Banderas' penis as part of their "Wildfire Celebrity Series".[9][10]

In May 2012, Banderas signed a contract with Magnum Contenidos Multimedia (MCM) to produce Porn Valley Dream, a reality television series documenting his life.[11]

Personal life

Banderas married Lisa DeMarco on September 1, 2001.[3] He has an "I Love Fiona" tattoo, which is DeMarco's real first name.[2]
