Chris William Martin
- Actor
- Producer
- Director
Chris started his acting career at fifteen when he answered an open
casting call for the Nickelodeon drama "Fifteen". Citing rain as the
reason for attending the audition, Chris landed one of the lead roles
and soon after was nominated for a Youth In Film Award for his
portrayal of "Dylan" on the show. Martin signed with an agent and
started working immediately in Vancouver on various TV movies and
series. After being nominated for a Gemini (Canadian Emmy) for his work
on his second series, "Madison", Chris moved to Toronto to film "Peter
Benchley's Amazon" and shoot the independent feature "Johnny", which
earned him a Jury Citation Award for his performance as a homeless kid
living on the streets of Toronto. His feature debut was not missed by
Hollywood, and Chris was soon after cast on "Felicity" as Kerri
Russell's new love interest for the show's second season. Trying to
find the right fit in Hollywood, Chris starred in a few pilots before
setting his sights on Canada once again to star in and direct a new
series for the CBC: Tom Stone. After two seasons of playing the title
character, Chris returned to LA, this time to don a hospital gown and
surgical mask opposite Treat Williams in "Heartland", which enjoyed a
short run on TNT, and centered around transplant doctors in the OR.
Chris currently lives in Los Angeles.
