Jesse L. Martin Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

Jesse L. Martin (produced Jesse Lamont Watkins; January 18, 1969) is an American actor and vocalist. He appeared in Shakespeare’s Rock-in-Characters in the Actors Theater of Louisville and The Butcher’s Daughter in The Cleveland Play House, and returned to Manhattan to perform in local theater, soap operas, and advertisements. Finding that auditions, regional theater, and bit parts were no solution to support himself, Martin waited tables at several eateries across town. He was actually serving a pizza when his appearance on CBS’s Guiding Light aired in an identical eatery. While the show aired, the entire waitstaff assembled round the pub television to encourage his performance. Frequently, through the dinner rush, he broke out in tune. When he gave his customers their dinner checks, he told them to “keep it, because someday I Will be famous!” A lot of his coworkers in the eateries continue to check out his career and therefore are considered his early “fan club”. Martin made his Broadway debut in Timon of Athens, and after that performed in The Government Inspector with Lainie Kazan. While employed in the Moondance Diner, he met the playwright Jonathan Larson, who also worked on the restaurant’s staff. In 1996, Larson’s musical Rent took the theater world by storm, with Martin in the part of gay computer geek/philosophy professor Tom Collins. In 1998, the West End production of RENT opened with four of the first cast members, including Martin.

1From Men's Health: Trusting my own instincts has led me to great places. When I was younger, someone telling me I couldn't do something was like saying, 'Try.' You get mad at them and yourself, because they make you think, I don't know if I really can do it. Maybe they're right. Then the anger feeds you, and next thing you know, you've done exactly what they said you wouldn't do, and a little more.
2From Men's Health: Go back to what's good, what's certain, what's always there. You woke up today. Just start walking. Whatever it is, it'll pass. Time doesn't go backward. That's the one real blessing. It happened; it does you no good to worry. Keep it movin'.
3I want to be remembered as a great actor - and a shining example of humanity.
4I honestly believe there are good things happening in this world, and I'll spend most of my time trying to find them and bring them to light.
5From people magazine 2000: "Real men know how to listen, and real men know how to be honest."
