Trivia: Named after his Grandpa.

Cons: Personally, I didn't like Boris. He was a poor choice for Marco. Here's what the casting director did: "We need someone Hispanic." Now, the writers decided that not only was the character to know a lot of Spanish, but he was also going to try to act like an African American. I find this quite perplexing. Boris was not a wonderful actor, and quite frankly, I wanted to bean him with.. um.. beans. Los frijoles ;) The jacket he wore was really really ugly, plus he always talked in an accent. Marco does *not* talk in an accent. My dad's Polish, do I speak with a Polish accent? No.

Pros: Um. He said "That's insane!" a lot. I think that's good.

What he's been doing since: She's No Angel and Social Misfits. Haven't seen either.
