A Martinez Sexy

Adolfo Larrue Martinez III, better known as A Martinez (Mr. Man checked, and he doesn’t use the period after his initial) has so many credits, and you know him from so many things, no matter what your viewing preferences are. Like daytime drama? He’s played Cruz Castillo on Santa Barbara from 1984-1992 (with a whopping 1,493 episodes!); Ray DiLucca on General Hospital from 2000-2002; Ray Montez on One Life to Live from 2008-2009; Dr. Ramon Montgomery on The Bold and the Beautiful from 2011-2012; and Eduardo Hernandez on Days of Our Lives from 2015-2020. Primetime more your thing? Check him out as Lt. Neal Quinn in Whiz Kidsfrom 1983-1984, Daniel Morales in L.A. Law from 1990-1994, Michael Olivas in For the People in 2002-2003, and Jacob Nighthorse in Longmire from 2012-2017. And if you prefer a larger screen to admire the men-folk, you may have ogled A as Garcia in She-Devil (1989) as he floated in a pool wearing a very bulging bikini bottom. You can also see him as Papi in Michael Bay’s Ambulance (2022) with Jake Gyllenhaal, and way back when he was starting out, he appeared in Change of Habit (1969) with Elvis Presley and in The Cowboys(1972) with John Wayne. In the “Wow! Who knew?!” category, we have his singing debut at age 12 at the Hollywood Bowl for a talent show (he won), a very brief marriage to Mare Winningham in the early ‘80s, and his five-season career as a semi-pro baseball player. See? Something for everyone!
