Adolfo Larrue Martinez Iii

Hey Martinez is an American actor and musician, known in Russia for his role as Cruz Castillo in the cult TV series Santa Barbara. Thanks to the role of a brave police officer, he was rightfully called the sex symbol of the series.

In terms of popularity among the female audience, a man could be compared only with the performer of the role of Mason Capwell - Lane Davis. After completing work in the project, he managed to realize his dream - to release a solo music disc.

Hey was born in Glendale, California in September 1948. Eya Martinez's full name is Adolfo Larrue Martinez III. The boy's houses were called Hey, Little Adolfo or Little Hey, so as not to confuse him with his father and grandfather, who bore the same names. Soon, Amy became the original name, and the actor did not have to come up with a stage name.

Martinez has multinational blood in his veins. He was born in California, his father is Mexican, and his mother is Indian, German, Irish and even Slavic. The boy's father worked as a teacher, his mother was a housewife. The woman devoted all her time to raising five sons and a daughter. It was mom who taught Ay, his brothers and sister to hard work, which he later called his main virtue.

At school, Ay was fond of music and sports. He played in a rock band and played for the basketball team. The guy did not dream of becoming an actor - he was much more interested in baseball, basketball and singing. Parents far from art helped to find a vocal teacher for their son. This is how the creative biography of Eya Martinez started. At the age of 12, he became famous as a singer by winning the Young Talent Competition on the Hollywood stage. The boy independently learned to play the guitar and the piano.

Later Martinez entered Los Angeles University, where he studied acting.

The main work of the cinematic biography of Ay Martinez was the role of Cruz Castillo in the television series Santa Barbara. The tape brought the artist worldwide fame. Handsome Mexican, courageous police hero Cruz Castillo, devotedly loving Mason Capwell's sister - Eden. This is how Martinez was remembered by millions of viewers of the former USSR.

As the performer himself recalled, for a long time he did not agree to participate in the project, the series of which was broadcast only in the daytime. Hey assumed that this work would not bring the popularity that actors who appear on the screen in the evening get. But the image of Cruz liked Martinez, since before that he had never had to play "good guys".

Later, the artist will call work in the family saga the head of the acting school in his life. It is interesting that Hey in life is not much different from the character who played a fateful role in his life. He prefers loose-fitting American-style clothes - jeans, checkered shirts.

For 10 years, fans of the series obediently sat down near the screens, having heard the "callsigns" of "Santa Barbara". The artist considers the image of Cruz Castillo to be the best in his career: in this role he starred in Santa Barbara from 1984 to 1992. Unlike others, his hero has never been replaced. For his role as Cruz, Castillo Martinez was awarded an Emmy. In 1990 he was named Best Drama Actor.

Of course, the role of Cruz Castillo is not the only work of the artist. Ai Martinez's cinematic biography includes about 100 roles.

In 2013, the actor expanded his filmography with works in the projects "Jimmy Picard" and "The Curse of Chucky". The first film told about an American Indian who participated in the Second World War. Martinez got a cameo role in this drama.

The second picture was created in a genre unusual for Ay - slasher. The actor appeared on the screen as Frank's father. A series of bloody murders takes place in the city. The owner of the Chucky doll, the girl Nick (Fiona Dourif), begins to suspect the mystical involvement of her toy in crimes.

A year later, Amy joined the cast of The Night Shift. In the medical melodrama, the Santa Barbara star lingered a few episodes.

A real gift for the artist was the crime thriller "Queen of the South", where Amy embodied on the screen the image of a good guy, a Texas sheriff who is involved in the fight against Mexican cartels. The series was warmly received by the public, so its shooting was extended.

In 1978, Amy Martinez, on the set of a television series about American pioneer settlers, met his future wife, actress Winningham Mare. The young people got married in 1981, but quickly realized that their marriage was a mistake. The life together ended after a few months.

The actor admits that it was difficult for him to suppress the romantic feeling that arose for the actress Marcy Walker, who played the role of Eden Capwell. Film love threatened to grow into a real one, and Eya had to resist passion with all her might.

Ay and Leslie's marriage was saved. Now between Martinez and actress Marci Walker friendly relations. They call up from time to time.

Martinez never forgot his love for music. In 2003 his disc "Aroma and Thorns" appeared.
