- Actor
- Writer
- Producer
Francisco Marquez is a multi-award-winning actor, producer, and voice artist praised for his visceral performances, volatile charisma, and the raw emotional weight he brings to every role.
He appeared alongside Ryan Reynolds and Lil Rel Howery in Free Guy (dir. Shawn Levy), before delivering a breakout turn as the unpredictable antagonist in Luminous - an indie psychological thriller that earned 8 festival awards and 14 official selections for its sharp tension and morally complex narrative.
In 2024, Marquez produced and starred in two critically acclaimed short films: the genre-bending sci-fi Parallel Partners and the gritty action-thriller Bounty Hunters. Combined, they earned over 23 international festival awards, including multiple Best Actor wins from the Los Angeles Film Awards, New York Film Awards, Top Shorts, and others.
Named "Artist of the Month" by Filmmakers Connect, his work has been praised as "intense, captivating, and wholly unique."
Fluent in English and Spanish and trained in Meisner, Marquez gravitates toward roles that live in the grey - volatile leaders, fractured loners, soft-spoken wild cards, and men unraveling with a grin. He blends emotional depth, physical commitment, and technical precision, infusing every role with cinematic weight and raw honesty.
As a voice artist, he's fronted national campaigns for Amazon and Honda, and lent his voice to projects for PlayStation, Microsoft, Acura, Spotify, Goya, and other top-tier brands - known for a vocal range that shifts seamlessly from cinematic grit to grounded intimacy.
In 2025, he wrapped his most complex performance yet: a chilling lead in an upcoming psychological thriller exploring fractured identity, buried trauma, and the shadows we create to survive.
Driven by a belief that great characters don't just entertain - they reveal - Marquez remains committed to bold, character-driven storytelling that challenges, connects, and lingers long after the final frame.
