Marvin Elliott, better known by his stage name Marvin Priest, is a British-born, Australian-based singer-songwriter. In November 2011 Priest released his debut studio album, Beats & Blips, in Australia, which spawned the top ten single "Own This Club" on the ARIA Singles Chart, as well as top one-hundred singles "Take Me Away" and "Feel the Love". "Own This Club" was also a top ten hit in New Zealand. At the APRA Music Awards of 2012 the track, which was co-written by Priest with Antonio Egizii and David Musumeci (of DNA Songs), won an award for Urban Work of the Year and was nominated for Most Played Australian Work.
Marvin Dixon is a member of the Jamaica national bobsleigh team and competed in the 2014 Winter Olympics in the two-man bobsled. He was selected to carry the Jamaican flag at the 2014 Winter Olympics opening ceremony.
Marvin is one of the main characters of the popular puppet comedy web-series "SML". He's portrayed as a short-tempered husband to his wife Rose and a mean father to his adoptive son Jeffy. He's usually the butt of many jokes and many of his misdeeds go punished or he's pushed to his limit by ridiculous scenarios.
I didn't realize Marvin was the name of the cop who got his ear cut off in "Reservoir Dogs," but I've always associated Marvin with the guy in the back of Vince Vega and Jules Winnfield's car, who Vince accidentally shoots in the face when they go over a bump in the street, in "Pulp Fiction." Nearly the entire last third of the movie revolves around them cleaning Marvin's remains from the car and disposing of the body. I guess Tarantino likes to use the name Marvin for people who meet awful ends in his movies...
Marvin Nash is the name of the cop who gets his ear cut off by Vic Vega in the Quentin Tarantino movie "Reservoir Dogs."Stan Marsh's grandfather from "South Park" also has this name.
I'm a little surprised that no one has mentioned that one of the most renowned rock artists of our time, Marvin Aday (better known as Meat Loaf), bears this name.
