Martinez has been working relatively steadily since 2019, though he officially launched his career in 2015. Over the years, the actor has appeared on several hit shows, including “FBI,” “Law & Order: Organized Crime,” “The Equalizer,” and “Kaleidoscope.” In 2021, he even appeared on “The Blacklist” in the episode “The Skinner: Conclusion.” As Ernesto, an employee at an assisted living home, he helped Red (James Spader) and Vincent (Matt Malloy) enter the home, where they tracked down the former “Skinner,” Alberta, and tried to help her escape from the home.
For the “Blacklist” uninitiated, “Skinners” were criminal elites and powerful leaders who amassed considerable power, often at the expense of others. In “The Skinner: Conclusion,” Red, who has ratted out high-profile criminals to the FBI since the show began, becomes a Skinner himself. It’s a fitting development for the ex-Navy intelligence officer.
