When I set out to do a shoot based on the TV show top of the pops from the 1980’s I asked Marcus to play Prince. As always Marcus got into his character and was amazing. He had to perform mime two hits from the artist which it did amazingly Marcus is an All round great actor and loads of fun

Thank you Marcus

My eyes always light up when I see Marcus on the same shoot as myself, he gives so much to whatever character he is playing. He will turn up with so many props and costumes. He is also a great guy.

Look forward to the next time

Marcus is honestly one of the best guys I know, always full of energy and enthusiasm and puts his all into each character he plays... I'm convinced he has a better wardrobe than me some days!

I've worked with him so many times now, he's my go to guy when suggesting another model to work with as we just have the most fun on shoots. This time round Marcus played Prince and did such an amazing job, put his all into it, brought loads of props and outfits and was just his usual amazing self!!!

If you haven't worked with him yet, then honestly YOU NEED TO !!

Working with Dark Horse is always a pleasure. Whether I am photographing him, or acting along side him in a production. Today it was the latter, when we performed as 1980’s pop stars in a Gino Cinganelli production based on Top of the Pops. As always Marcus bought fun, professionalism and flair to the part he played. It’s always great to spend time with Marcus. Highly recommend working with him.

Thoroughly immersed himself into his role as Prince and truly owned it, recommend to work with!

Joined in with this fab themed shoot of Top of the pops 80s style . What a performance Marcus gave. He played his part as Prince his facial exspressions and guitar playing,spot on . As well as joining in as band players. Even on keyboard in my performance. Well done highly recommended

Marcus has an unfaltering commitment to the task at hand and throws himself 100% into his roles, highly recommended!

I was cast on another group shoot with Marcus last week, and as always I relish the chance to work alongside such an experienced and talented actor. Incredibly professional but also good company on a shoot, the opportunities to learn from working with people like Marcus are just invaluable.

Second time working with Marcus. This time at a group photoshoot. He's experience shined through and brought character to the shots and entertainment to everyone around him, during prep times.

Always a pleasure to work with and look forward to our next shoot together!

Yesterday I set up a courtroom shoot. We just had to have the amazing Marcus involved. Marcus is a great actor and a lovely and funny guy. Everyone loves Marcus

Thank you

Bob The Plumber

Was involved in another shoot which Marcus was also involved in so I knew it would be fun. Marcus is a fantastic actor who can do anything. We were in a courtroom sketch where we both had to improvise and we had a real laugh. I really enjoy being on shoots with Marcus, so hopefully it won't be to long before the next one.

We were invited to a group shoot with 20 people all with different characters and stories. Didn't know who people where and what the stories where. Dark horse played his character wonderfully and was such fun ro work with hope we can work together again.

I have worked with Marcus several times and it is always great to see him on set as he works so well with everyone. This time we were part of a comedy film which was set in a court room. Marcus is a very talented actor and model. He remains in character throughout and is believable. He is very professional, looked the part and brought great energy to set. I would recommend Marcus to any production or shoot - he is brilliant! Hope to work with you again soon Marcus!

Today I worked alongside Marcus, as an actor in a series of short films created by Gino Cinganelli. The theme was courtroom humorous dramas. As always Marcus was in character from the get go. Funny, quick-witted, professional and thoughtful about his characters back story. Between scenes Marcus and I had time to chat and laugh and I enjoyed a number of his anecdotes. Working with Marcus is always a pleasure and I would recommend shooting or acting with him 100%. Thanks again Marcus.

Marcus turned up in character……/and never left it. George Cole would have been proud of him. Every aspect of the loveable, dodgy geezer rolled into one fun guy for a whole six hours. If they ever remake St Trinians or Minder again, Marcus is your man.

Mark Davidson

It was fun to work with this legend. Very inventive as well with fresh ideas pulled out of the hat to portray the desired character he chose to perform on a criminal shoot that was conducted by Gino. Very fun shoot, great guy and highly recommended!

Barney Douglas

I've worked with Marcus more than any other male model on this site, indeed more than any other male model full stop.

His ability to switch from Dickensian curmudgeon to Lord of the Manor, to freaky horror character to Woodstock hippy in seconds makes Marcus one of the most accomplished character models with whom I have ever worked.

Disarmingly off-the-wall in everything he achieves, this final opportunity at my last group shoot was no different. My abiding memory will be the smile that can become something so different in a flash, the momentary gesture that changes the whole feel of him as a subject, I will treasure for as long as I live.

Thank you Marcus. Wishing you the very best for the future.

Highly recommended.

This was my second shoot with Marcus as I had shot with him the year before. We didn't have much of an opportunity to plan the shoot beforehand due to time but I knew Marcus would bring an extensive wardrobe with him. We were pressed for time and Marcus was great at picking a suitable outfit and getting ready. On set, Marcus was great to work with again. We came up with some good ideas and managed to fit them into the short time we had available.

Adrian Stewart

Had the absolute joy of working with Marcus again on a recent shoot. We had discussed ideas before hand, and he brought exactly what was needed to get loads of great images. Marcus's energy through the shoot was amazing. He's a friendly chap, who poses/acts effortlessly and doesn't need direction, but is open to ideas/poses. I hope I get to shoot with him again soon (If only to hear his stories about his films!) Totally 110% recommended.
