Before his involvement with Pontecorvo he was a herdsman and illiterate.[5] Márquez appeared in three more movies during the 1970s.[6] With the decline of his film career, Márquez returned to work as a herdsman[7]
Of his experience with Brando, Márquez said "he never made me feel inferior to him, he regarded me as a brother", and "indeed, there was no one like Brando; that way of changing the expression of his face, of his eyes; even more, he was a brave man."[8][9]
In 2008 Márquez appeared in Chimbumbe,[10] short film shown at the Cartagena Film Festival.
In August 2010 Márquez appeared in El Tambor Magico,[11] a short film made by San Basilio de Palenque children.
He lived in San Basilio de Palenque, Colombia. Marquez died at a hospital in Cartagena, Colombia on June 15, 2013. He was 73.[12][13]
