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. He entered the adult film industry in 2005 under the stage name Marco Duato. He became frustrated with the surname because it was often misspelled as "Duarte", so he changed it to "Banderas".
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. In October, he launched his own website, MarcoBanderasXXX.com.
In January 2008, sex toy manufacturer Topco Sales unveiled a replica of Banderas' penis as part of their "Wildfire Celebrity Series".
In May 2012, Banderas signed a contract with Magnum Contenidos Multimedia (MCM) to produce Porn Valley Dream, a reality television series documenting his life.
Personal life
Banderas married Lisa DeMarco on September 1, 2001. He has an "I Love Fiona" tattoo, which is DeMarco's real first name.
