Quotes

Adamo: If I could time travel I would spend a week in every decade from 1900 to now. This way I could see how our world developed in one of the most prosperous centuries of all time. Wow, that was nerdy…true, but nerdy! (edit)
Adamo: I love playing tennis and soccer, but I enjoy rollerblading, biking and swimming the most. (edit)
Adamo: I love pop and dance music. I listen to singers like Britney Spears, N*sync and Destiny’s Child. But I also love oldies. I spend a lot of time listening to artists like Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, Aretha Franklin, Petula Clark, Judy Garland and many more. (edit)
Adamo: No, I wouldn’t change a thing about my character. What makes my character unique are his multiple attributes, good and bad. Plus, my character has cool style in clothing, and he is sensitive and caring… and isn’t that what ladies like in guys? LOL! (edit)

Really cool guy! I think that Degrassi should use alot of him! He kind of rounds up the life at high school. Marco deals with the hardest issue there is - homosexuality. It would be great to see more of him.
