In the Ugly Betty tv show Marc (Michael Urie) is the openly gay personal assistant of Wilhelmina Slater, the fashion editor at MODE magazine. He is very loyal to Wilhelmina and so far he will do whatever it will take to help his boss succeed in her goal to become the magazine’s editor by conspiring with both his boss and magazine receptionist Amanda to sabotage the two people responsible for costing Wilhelmina the top job, and in particular, ruin the ‘beauty’ of the magazine’s workplace: Daniel Meade and Betty Suarez, respectively.
Michael Urie is a New York based actor whose theatrical credits have taken him from Dallas to Seattle, San Diego, Washington, DC, Austin and the Berkshires. He has worked Off and Off Off-Broadway, and in commercials and in independent film.

I think Marc plays his part well and he should do more fruity things and should make his eyes wide in like every show because that is now his trademark and it is so hilarious!!!
