Early life and career

Marquette was born in Fremont, Michigan and raised in Muskegon, Michigan. He decided he wanted to become an actor after watching the soap opera All My Children with his grandmother during the summer days in Michigan. In 1987, Marquette gave his first performance with a puppet show that was part of his aunt's college class project. He spent a lot of time on the shores of Lake Michigan, but also wrote about moving to California and becoming an actor.

In High School, he was a high school drum major in the marching band. At eighteen, he won the Shakespeare Scholarship to Grand Valley State University.

After college, he moved to Los Angeles to take on his dream. He signed with Robert Abrams of Equinox Talent and within a few weeks landed his first of four national commercials. He was then introduced to Frederick Levy, who would become his manager. He landed his first role in the independent film Iowa. Soon after Marquette landed his breakout role in Shallow Ground.

After Shallow Ground, Marquette took on supporting roles in the independent films Anderson's Cross and Guy In Row Five. He booked leading roles in Tobe Hooper's 2006 film Mortuary and Mark Jones's 2007 film Triloquist in what has been described by independent horror films as a "horror trifecta". He also had a role as a troubled teen in Bondage starring Michael Angarano. Marquette landed a supporting role in the film Take starring Minnie Driver. He has a role in the upcoming film 1968: Tunnel Rats, a role he says he is proud of due to his father's military service in Vietnam.

He is one of Hollywood's young rising stars. Unstoppable!

The One I Know So Well

Life is a force that you cannot see. You only see the effects of life, the process of life in action. You don't see yourself, but you see the manifestation of life in your physical body. You have the sense of time, but it's nothing but the reaction of life passing through you.

What you are is something incredibly magnificent. You are life, and not just you, but every animal, every flower, every rock is life, because everything is full of life. All of us are only one living being, and we come from the same place!

I say it is time we all meet again.

Tear Down Your Wall

Humans are powerful magicians. You have the power to make yourself what you are right now, but it's not your reasoning mind that controls your power; it's what you believe.

You don't need to accumulate knowledge to become wise; anyone can become wise. When you become wise, you respect your body, you respect your mind, and you respect your soul. When you become wise, your life is controlled by your heart, not your head.

It's difficult to try to be what you are not. Being what you are doesn't require any effort. When you become wise, you accept yourself the way you are, and the complete acceptance of yourself becomes the complete acceptance of everyone else.

Some Very Energetic Beauty Pertaining To Life

You are the force that plays with your mind and uses your body as its favorite toy to play and have fun with. That is the reason you are here: to play and have fun. You are born with the right to be happy and enjoy life. You are not here to suffer. Love and respect yourself and others.

To love is to recognize yourself in another. The other's "otherness" then stands revealed as an illusion pertaining to the purely human realm, the realm of form.
