Timeline

1939

Mark Shannon (born Manlio Cersosimo; 8 December 1939 – 11 May 2018), sometimes also billed as Mark Shanon or Mark Channon, was an Italian pornographic actor active mainly from 1979 to 1988 and cast - often as protagonist - in more than 30 Italian adult films, many of which were produced, lensed and directed by Joe D'Amato.

He was the first Italian male protagonist in Italian cinema performing non-simulated sex on screen and has been called the first Italian "pornodivo".

Mark Shannon was born as Manlio Cersosimo in Rome on December 8, 1939, the son of Vincenzo Cersosimo, a known magistrate and criminal lawyer.
