About me
**Best Actor - Brighton Rocks International Film Festival, August 2020**An actor who “treats his body as an art form" [Sam Mason Bell, Director], Martin is a fearless actor willing to consider anything, including nudity.
"Martin was a pleasure to work with, arrived on time, friendly on set and fitted in perfectly. Gave his performance more than what was on the page." [TIS Films, "I Scream On The Beach", 2019]
“[Martin] ... turns in a tortured performance with the pent-up tension of a man terrified.... 10/10, a soaring achievement..” [“A Taste of Phobia” review, HorrorBuzz.com]
“[Martin has] ... a breakdown, remembering years gone by, an unhappy childhood filled with bigotry and hate. A surprisingly affecting moment, kudos to [him] for embracing this poignant material and elevating it from the absurdity that surrounds it.” [“Toxic Schlock” review, Beyond The Void]
"[Martin]... very empathetic and a sincerely sweet romantic lead." ["Lonely Hearts" review, Film-Threat]

**Best Actor - Brighton Rocks International Film Festival, August 2020**
An actor who “treats his body as an art form" [Sam Mason Bell, Director], Martin is a fearless actor willing to consider anything, including nudity.
"Martin was a pleasure to work with, arrived on time, friendly on set and fitted in perfectly. Gave to his performance more than what was on the page." [TIS Films, "I Scream On The Beach", 2019]
“[Martin] ... turns in a tortured performance with the pent-up tension of a man terrified.... 10/10, a soaring achievement..” [“A Taste of Phobia” review, HorrorBuzz.com]
“[Martin has] ... a breakdown, remembering years gone by, an unhappy childhood filled with bigotry and hate. A surprisingly affecting moment, kudos to [him] for embracing this poignant material and elevating it from the absurdity that surrounds it.” [“Toxic Schlock” review, Beyond The Void]
“[Martin]... very empathetic and a sincerely sweet romantic lead." ["Lonely Hearts" review, Film-Threat]
“[Martin's] performance was great. You brought all emotions to an emotionless face through performance and ritual”: Jim Slater, Director, Social Disorder [Note: The character is played in a noh style mask]
Acting experience: I have 25+ years experience in hotel interactive entertainment (murder mystery weekends) and added screen acting in 2015 since when I have built up more than 75 acting credits.
Additional skills: Plenty of experience with 'death' make-up from Murder Weekends (and remaining still with shallow breathing). No problem with performing nude when required by script or when correct for the character to be nude. Experienced in Life Modelling.
Industry awards: Best Actor, Brighton Rocks International Film Festival, August 2020
Additional information: I normally wear glasses but am comfortable in contact lenses - and have also worn FX lenses. Usually have a goatee but also prepared to grow to full beard or be clean shaven (subject to timing and other commitments). -
