R.I.P. Ethan Marc And BelAmi’s Evan Cobb
Sad news, QueerClickers. We just found out that 38-year-old Falcon and Southern Strokes performer Ethan Marc and 21-year-old BelAmi performer Evan Cobb both recently died in unrelated incidents.
J.C. Adams from the Porn News Times says that Marc died peacefully in Louisiana on May 17 surrounded by his extended family. Marc began doing porn in 1997 with All Worlds Video and then went on to work for Studio 2000, Jet Set Men, Falcon, Channel 1 Releasing, and most recently Southern Strokes.
Throughout his long career he also performed as Ethan Mark, Ethan Marke, Ethan Marks, Russ Leblanc, and Ethan S.. Adams shared his memories of Marc in his PNT obituary:
I interviewed and got to know Ethan during his first run through the adult business. He was compact and charming with a genuine interest and facility for performing. He was a dyed-in-the-wool exhibitionist and truly enjoyed a good, sweaty roll in the hay. I know he wrestled with his own demons. But his joyfulness—a certain irrepressible thrill at scratching that particular itch for others to watch and savor—is what should be remembered. And it’s what will stand the test of time, I think.
Bel Ami’s Evan Cobb took his own life on April 28, 2011. He started performing in 2009 and had his career tragically cut short by his own hand. So far there’s no word about how or why he killed himself. But the young performer reportedly worked as a professional dancer, masseur, and bar-back at one of Prague’s most popular gay bars. Most recently Cobb starred in very hot scenes where he starred as an incredibly, sensuous top.
Our thoughts go out to their families, friends, and fans.
