Elroy Martinez Jr.

Elroy Martinez Jr. was born in Brooklyn, NY. He pursued acting by taking a 4 week workshop class taught by actress Lori Kee. During that time, his fellow classmates were part of a community theater group called, I Act, You Act, in Harlem. He'd further train and get comfortable to perform as he joined the group and took part in shows for 6 months before they shut down. During his time as a member of the group, he befriended many, which opened an opportunity to audition for the indie short film, The Things Left Behind. Only going for the masked man role, the director of, The Things Left Behind, preferred to see him audition for the lead role, which he would win. Since his first lead role in the indie short film, he'd take more classes with actress Lori Kee and has taken classes from actor Victor Cruz. He's worked on his own indie short films. Writing and creating as well as helping as a producer is also a passion for him. Aside from indie films, Elroy has taken part in an Off-Off Broadway show, called The Boogeyman Diaries of a Broken Home, which he executive produced, for the Thespis Play Festival in 2014 as well as a One-Act as one of the leads for a Blue Pearl Theatrics show, Shattered!, starring as Ricco in Al & Ricco in 2016.
