Early life
Career
Banderas and his wife, Lisa DeMarco, worked at the Bagdad Sex Club for three years where they were approached by Nacho Vidal during the Barcelona International Erotic Film Festival. He entered the adult film industry in 2005 under the stage name Marco Duato. He became frustrated with the surname because it was often misspelled as "Duarte", so he changed it to "Banderas".
Banderas launched his own production company, Hot Zone Productions, in April 2007, signed a distribution deal with American Xcess in August, and released the company's first film, Marco Banderas’ Crazy Dreams, in September.{{cite web|url=http://www.xbiz.com/news/83549|title=Marco Banderas Signs Distro Deal With American Xcess|accessdate=21 January 2014|author=Joanne Cachapero|date=28 August 2007|publisher=XBIZ}} In October 2013, he launched his own website, marcobanderas.xxx.{{cite magazine|url=http://business.avn.com/articles/video/Marco-Banderas-Launches-Official-Website-26357.html|title=Marco Banderas Launches Official Website|accessdate=21 January 2014|author=Eddie Adams|date=13 October 2007|magazine=AVN}}{{cite web|url=http://www.xbiz.com/news/85127|title=Marco Banderas Debuts Official Site|accessdate=21 January 2014|author=Steve Javors|date=14 October 2007|publisher=XBIZ}}
