Biography |
Marco Dapper, born July 9, 1983, in Hayward, California, is
an American actor.
Dapper has recently landed the role of Troy in the movie
Eating Out 2: Sloppy Seconds (sequel to Allan Brocka's
Eating Out), about a gay guy who’s just broken up with his
“outta my league” boyfriend and is pursuing sexy, sexually
confused artist’s model Troy by pretending to be an ex-gay.
Dapper was first discovered by scouts for NBC and appearing
on Meet My Folks. He didn’t really get into acting until
high school.
Prior to getting the role, Dapper was a UPS driver and was
also going to a junior college at the same time doing
theatre and some plays. Acting is what he always wanted to
do, but he just never took it seriously. His family are all
laborers, so he thought it just wasn’t in the cards for him.
Not so long ago, Dapper used to think all gays are always
hitting on him.
“I guess you could call me a homophobe back then,” Marco
remembers of the time not so long ago when he arrived in
L.A. “I was the kinda guy who if a gay guy came and talked
to me I’d be like, ‘What is he doing? Is he hitting on me?’
It was fear of the unknown. This movie was like a whole 180.
I just realized, ‘Not all of them are hitting on me.’”
“Now my whole perspective is just totally changed. I’m more
easy-going now. It’s the kind of thing where I think most
guys like me need to go through something like that where
there’s a bunch of people, a crew, and you can talk to them
and hear stories and you realize...we’re not really that
different. It’s an experience every guy, especially if you
don’t have any homosexual friends, should go through.”
Dapper loves to cook and work out at the gym. He's also into
music. He listens to Rock, Reggae and Rap. |
