Marcos Esteves

Marcos was immediately recognized for his talents and snatched up by director, Marcello Daciano, for his film "My America", which wrapped production in late 2010. Originally from Lisbon, Portugal, Marcos, born pigeon-toed, is the son of Moises and Maryjane Esteves. At age of 7 Marcos moved with his family to Vermont, and later to Missouri. Marcos and his brother, Daniel used to run barefoot around their grandfather's farm, with no regard for the cow-pies through which they were treading, while their grandfather milked the cows. Already a well-regarded actor at College of the Ozarks, where he majored in theatre, and played numerous leading roles, including the Monster in the musical "Frankenstein", Marcos moved to Los Angeles in 2009 to pursue acting at the professional level. A hard worker, and committed to his craft, Marcos has enjoyed professional success on multiple levels, including numerous stage and screen roles in just his first few months in LA. The pronunciation of the name was adapted by Marcos (pronounced MARK-us) from the traditional Portuguese (Eh-shte-vzsh) to the more familiar sounding version employed by Emilio (no relation).
