Tommy Martinez shared his acting journey in a recent issue of Grumpy Magazine!
Before starring as Gael on Freeform’s popular sitcom Good Trouble, Martinez was unclear of his future. His journey began while taking college classes in Tallahassee, Florida. He shares how he was going through a “quarter life crisis” while he was failing his classes and unsure of what he wanted to do for a career.
Luckily, as fate would have it, Martinez made a connection with an actor working on a script at his college. After starring in his new friend’s short film, he realized this was a “pivotal moment” in his life.
He dropped out of college and signed a contract with modeling agency Wilhelmina in Miami. His modeling gigs allowed him to save up money towards his acting career. Martinez eventually moved to LA in 2015 to make his dream a reality.
The actor has landed roles on Shameless, NCIS: Los Angeles, and Riverdale. Martinez also shared that he is “beyond grateful” for his current role on Good Trouble.
