a.k.a. Mr. Marcus, Mr Marcus, Marcus Alston

Porn Star Marcus seemingly emerged out of nowhere to quickly become one of the most sought-after studs in the industry. A soft-spoken chocolate-skinned stud, he first hit hardcore screens in late 1994. It didn't take long for his lady-killer good looks and always reliable performance skills to bring him to the first rank of hardcore studs. Marcus is one of the most likable men in the business, a friendly guy whose good humor and easy-going nature don't threaten male fans, and whose well-chiseled physique and dazzling smile turns on women at 100 paces. There's something about Marcus that you can't quite put your finger on, a likability that seems to come to the surface naturally. He comes across as a nice young guy who somehow stumbled into a line of work for which he is uniquely suited.

Born on September 4, 1970, Marcus never knew his father, who cut out on his mother before he was born. He grew up in Southern California, where he landed a job driving trucks upon graduating from high school. He'd always been a fan of porn mags and videos, and one day decided to try and live out his fantasy of performing in them. He contacted a couple of numbers he found in the back of one magazine, and a star was born. Marcus exuded sexy star quality from the moment he first stepped on a porn set, and it didn't take him long to conquer the industry.

Muscular as a football linebacker but with the soft eyes of a R and B heartthrob, Marcus has proven to be one of the favorites of hardcore starlets whatever their race. His caring and sensual style makes him one of the few men in porn whose work veers closer to 'making love' than 'having sex.' As such, he's one of the most sought-after studs when a scene calls for more than just a 'wham, bam, thank you ma'am' approach.

Among the best flicks of Marcus' career is 'Miss Judge,' where he joined Heather Hunter for a sensual closing blast. 'Sweet Honey Buns 4' found him in a passionate plunge with Temptress, while 'Nasty Nymphos 27' featured a scintillating session between Marcus and gorgeous Skylar Knight. More recently, Marcus scorched the screen with Jewel DeNyle in 'Sluts of the Nyle 5,' treating her to a feverish back door blast that left them both speechless.

For a time, Marcus was linked off-screen with Sylvia Saint, and the two turned in a host of passionate scenes together. Among the best of these is 'Pick Up Lines 48,' where they closed the video with a searing dose of true sexual heat. The pressures of porn stardom soon drove them apart, though, and Marcus was back to being a free agent.

Marcus moved behind the camera in the late 90s, helming the 'Marcus Neighborhood' series, among others. He proved as adept at directing as at performing, but his fans don't want to see him step behind the camera for good. Not to worry, Marcus has no plans to leave his performing career behind. He's appeared in over 750 features since his hardcore debut and shows no signs of slowing down. Marcus is well-poised to become not only one of the top black studs of all time, but one of the top studs in porn history, period. The ladies certainly won't argue.
