Marko Zaror Aguad (born June 10, 1978) is a Chilean martial artist, actor, and stuntman of Italian and Palestinian descent according to interviews.[1][2]
Zaror was born in Santiago, Chile, and lives in Los Angeles, California. He started training in martial arts when he was six years old. His main sports are taekwondo and kickboxing and he has also black belts in judo and aikido and a green belt in shotokan. Zaror has appeared in several Spanish language action films, including Chinango and Kiltro, and acted as stuntman for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the 2003 film The Rundown. In 2010 he played bloodthirsty Colombian prisoner/fighter Raul "Dolor" Quinones in the film Undisputed III: Redemption, which was his first U.S. American film and the first time he spoke English in a film as he was previously a stunt man.[3] In Machete Kills (2013), he played an associate of main villain Luther Voz (Mel Gibson), with "Zaror" being his character's name. He was seen as a mixed martial arts competition finalist in bollywood movie Sultan. He has worked with Robert Rodríguez in several projects. Zaror is the only Latin American action film star, devoted specifically to action films.[4]
Zaror follows a ketogenic diet to improve his performance and for a brief period in 2016, he combined it with a vegetarian diet for ethical, environmental and health reasons but later adopted the Carnivore Diet.[5][6]
