Life and career
Khan was born Marco Khanlian in Tehran, Iran; the son of Anna (née Karamian), and Levon Khanlian.[2] His father was born in Lebanon but was raised in Iran where he met Khan's mother, who was born in Georgia. Both of his parents are Armenian Iranians. Marco and younger brother, Aleko, left Iran at age 11 in pursuit of higher education. Schooled in Venice, Italy and then in Catalina, California – Marco now calls Los Angeles, California home. At age 17, Marco picked up English as his 5th language and assumed the responsibility as the caretaker for his entire family. While operating a series of restaurants for 12 years to support his family, Marco enjoyed brief stints as a Professional Athlete in Football, American football and Wrestling.
After his father died, he decided to pursue his lifelong passion of becoming an actor. His looks, talent, and diverse background have allowed Marco to play a variety of interesting characters. He is a versatile actor achieving success in comedy, action and drama. Despite his "tough guy" appearance, his demeanor is quiet, gentle, gracious and sincere. As a father he loves children and animals. Almost everyone who meets Marco agrees that there is "Just something special that draws you towards him". He is a kind and tolerant humanitarian who is relentless in his pursuit for peace. Always positive & encouraging to others, "Never Give Up" is the motto he lives by. Marco is a true believer that everything happens for a reason, that tests and trials in life shape your character & that his destiny is in God's hands.[3]
Marco Khan currently lives in Los Angeles with his wife Heather Blair Khan and his son Alekzander.[4] He has not been previously married.
