Marcus Forrester is a fictional character from the American CBS soap opera, The Bold and the Beautiful, portrayed by Texas Battle. He first appeared on May 14, 2008. In early stages of his storyline, it was revealed he was the long-lost son of Donna Logan (Jennifer Gareis) and his father, Justin Barber (Aaron D. Spears) was introduced to the serial after Marcus. He has had relationships with Steffy Forrester and has fathered Amber Moore's child in 2011. For the role, Battle was nominated In 2009 and 2010 for an NAACP Image Award© in the category of “Outstanding Actor in a Daytime Drama Series" for his portrayal of Marcus. He is described as "Smooth, suave, and oh so charming, ladies’ man, Marcus Forrester never fails to make women swoon".
Marcus is first introduced attending the funeral of Storm Logan. After his arrival, he begins working at Forrester Creations. He is revealed to be the son of Donna Logan and Justin Barber but he was adopted by Eric Forrester during Donna's marriage to Eric. Marcus explained that the Waltons were good to him but he never felt that he connected with them emotionally. Saying that "they just want him to be happy" they let go of their parental rights which permitted him to be adopted by wealthy Eric Forrester.
Eric gives Marcus a position at Forrester Creations in the shipping department, working with Eric's granddaughter Steffy. Steffy and Marcus instantly click, and begin to date. Donna warns Marcus to be cautious of Steffy. The Unstable Pam Douglas (Steffy's great-aunt) convinces Steffy to spy on Marcus, which she does. When Steffy learns the truth about Marcus being Donna's child, she is angry about him not telling her. Later Marcus became head of shipping at the company, becoming Steffy's boss, complicating their relationship after his mother Donna fired Steffy's entire family.
