The actor has played the role ever since, becoming a widely recognised face in British television and a favourite among viewers. Alongside his thirteen years with the programme, Marquez has also starred in Death in Paradise, In The Club and Porridge. He has gained a reputation as a versatile actor, who can skilfully take on numerous different roles with ease and his trademark humour.

Most recently, Marquez has continued to star in Doc Martin, as well as appearing in another television series, Britannia. He starred in four episodes of the historical fantasy show, which aired on Sky and has been renewed for a third season. This experienced and talented actor continues to be at the heart of British television, and remains a favourite with fans.
