Porn Star Marc Wallice was a wiry hunk who was for a long time one of the hardest-working studs in porn, a man who appeared in well over 1300 features during her lengthy carnal career. He was a semi-buffed blonde hard-charger whose most notable feature may have been his slightly curved member, which made him one of the easiest-to-spot studs in the business. His long blonde hair and striking good looks made him a favorite of co-stars and fans alike, and his 'do anyone' attitude kept him extremely busy. Unfortunately, it all came to a sudden end in early 1998 when Marc Wallice was revealed to have the AIDS virus. The resulting scandal ended his porn career instantly.

Marc Wallice first hit hardcore screens in 1982 at the age of 22. He had been working as a grocery store bagger when he spotted an ad for World Modeling. Intrigued by the idea of getting paid to have sex, Marc stopped into their office and the rest is history. He started out in small, non-speaking roles that just called for him to get up and off when called on. His boundless sexual enthusiasm soon started landing him meatier roles, until he was one of the most recognizable faces in porn.

Marc was far from the greatest actor you'll ever see, but his stud abilities were never questioned. He was one of the industry's foremost anal enthusiasts, and could often be spotted at the back end of a DP scene. Some of his best scenes are his frantic romp with Ashlyn Gere and T.T. Boy in 'Realities 2,' and his fiery fling with Chloe and Roxanne Hall in the opening scene of 'Blue Dahlia.'

Marc struggled with a drug problem throughout his career, and has admitted being an intravenous user. He finally kicked his cocaine habit in the mid-90s, after a successful stint in rehab. He had just moved into directing when the AIDS controversy hit, stepping behind the cameras to helm the 'Tails of Perversity' series. Of course, that gig went by the boards once his HIV status was revealed.

It was on April 30, 1998 that Sharon Mitchell announced that Marc had AIDS, and proposed the idea that he might very well be the 'patient zero' behind the sudden epidemic of the disease in the porn industry. Wallice had engaged in unprotected anal sex with every one of the gals who contracted the virus (a list that includes Tricia Devereaux, Brooke Ashley, Caroline, Nena Cherry, Jordan McKnight, Barbara Doll and Kimberly Jade). Rumors began swirling that Wallice had forged his AIDS certificate and had knowingly had sex with these women while infected. He denies the rumors, but they continue to resonate with many in the business. After all, Marc had been caught with a fake AIDS certificate only months before the scandal broke.

His porn career dried up immediately, and Marc was dropped by most of those he had considered friends in the industry. He went into a drug-fueled tailspin, holing up in a motel room and smoking coke for a month solid. He was only roused from his binge when a pair of thugs kidnapped him from his room and tried to force him to get cash out of his ATM account. While at the bank, Marc whispered to the police what was going on, and the whole group was arrested -- Marc on cocaine charges.

Marc Wallice has receded into porn history in a hurry. The industry has disavowed him for the most part, and he will certainly never work in hardcore again. He's also the subject of at least one lawsuit that claims he knowingly infected girls he was working with. For a time, though, Marc Wallice was one of porn's hottest studs, a man who was as reliable as he was busy. A member of both the AVN and XRCO Halls of Fame, Marc Wallice is living the rest of his life well out of the porn spotlight.
