Born in 1982 Bristol, England, Martin spent most of his early years studying art and design. At the age of 18, Martin walked onto the stage at his local theatre for the very first time. He became a motivated, committed and talented actor with strong stage instincts. Martin is a perfectionist who possesses a professional work ethic which compels him to maintain the highest standard of performance and is always willing to listen and learn from others. In the past he has worked alongside renowned figures in independent and corporate film company settings. He is energetic, prepared to 'go the extra mile' and is sure to make a real difference to any project he is involved in. "We all live for love, happiness, fear and pain. We learn to fail and succeed each day both physically and mentally. To act is to show the raw emotion that makes us who we are." -Martin Portlock
