A Martinez has joined the cast of General Hospital in the role of Roy DiLucca, a man long thought dead by the residents of Port Charles, especially Bobbie Spencer who believed that Roy had died in her arms.

A native Californian, Martinez was 12 years old when he made his professional singing debut at the Hollywood Bowl where he won a talent competition.

Later, while attending UCLA, he first appeared in the feature film, Born Wild, followed in quick succession by other films, including The Cowboys (starring John Wayne), Beyond the Limit (starring Michael Caine), Once Upon a Scoundral, Walking the Edge, Joe Panther, and Shoot the Sundown among others. A believes that his stint as Cruz on the daytime drama Santa Barbara is what really put him on the map. "When I first got Santa Barbara, I had been in the game for a long time without attracting a sizeable audience," admits Martinez. "My experience with Santa Barbara helped me overcome any doubts about the wisdom of pursuing this career. It gave me a sense that I belonged and had something of value to offer."

In 1990, Mr. Martinez was honored with the Daytime Emmy Award as Outstanding Lead Actor for his work on Santa Barbara. While on Santa Barbara, A's portrayal of Cruz hit home with the fans and he rose to immense popularity when his character became involved with Eden, portrayed by Marcy Walker (All My Children's Liza Colby Chandler).

Mr. Martinez's other television credits include the made for television movies Deconstructing Sarah, Ties That Bind, The Cherokee Kid, and She Led Two Lives among others. Martinez has also appeared on such series as Magnificent Seven, Profiler, and L.A. Law to name a few.

Martinez enjoys writing music, composing songs, playing the guitar and piano in his leisure time. A devoted family man, he and his wife, Leslie Bryans, have three children - son, Dakota Lee and daughters Devon Makens and Ren Farren. -from ABC Daytime
