Marco Del Rossi (Degrassi: The Next Generation)

Played by Adamo Ruggiero (Seasons 2-9)

Why We Love Him: Like the character Rickie Vasquez on My So Called Life, Marco is one of the most iconic Latino gay characters in the history of television! Although he was often discriminated against by his peers because of his sexuality, Marco never let that get in the way of his happiness. We lived for Marco's playful personality, his penchant for telling jokes and his gossip sessions with Paige (Lauren Collins).
