Juvian Marquez
Juvian Marquez, man, this guy pops up in projects that always have a weirdly intense energy. If you’ve seen Dominic Bane (2023), you already know he doesn’t just blend into the background. There’s something about the way he carries a scene—like he’s in on a joke you haven’t heard yet, but you’re dying to know what it is. He’s got this look, like he’s about to cause trouble or save the day, maybe both. In Unit 234 (2024), Marquez steps it up a notch. The whole vibe of that film is claustrophobic, tense, and yet he manages to bring these little flashes of dark humor that keep you guessing if you should be scared or weirdly rooting for him. It’s not your average thriller; he’s the wildcard, lurking in the shadows, and every time he’s on screen, stuff just gets more complicated.
And don’t sleep on Stash the Movie (2021) either. Wildly underrated. Marquez pulls off this gritty, streetwise charm that feels way too authentic. You can tell he’s not phoning it in—there’s this rawness, like he’s dragged these characters out of real life instead of a script. He brings a kind of unpredictable energy, bouncing between vulnerability and menace, and honestly, it keeps you glued to the screen. Whether he’s running from trouble, causing it, or just trying to survive, Marquez makes you want to stick around and see what chaos he stirs up next.
