Martin tells a deeply insightful story of when he was only 14 years old and saw the legendary actor James Dean in the film “East of Eden” for the first time. It was a true game changer in how he saw himself as an actor and would haunt him but ultimately transform his relationship to his craft and to himself.
This same raw reveal continues in the show as an open mic segment where Martin unveils how his acting technique evolved in his early years because of Dean and other artists who he admired and emulated.
