“ Sometimes, people are like fruits. They receive all of the sweetness of the past harvest to create themselves a tasty replication. Replication. So often one finds themselves only watching the fruit slowly grow. Never knowing anything more than how sorely important it is to be the branch… Illusions revealed. Dig into your own. Be the roots”
Michael Arcangel Martinez

Past. Present. Future.
Past: My Early Year's...
I was born in Jersey City New Jersey, and I have Puerto Rican heritage. During my adolescence, in the 1980's, I divided my time between Puerto Rico and Jersey City.

Present: A working actor.
My journey in television began with a pivotal role on ABC’s iconic daytime soap opera, General Hospital, where I brought to life the character of Detective Cruz Rodriguez. It was an experience that not only honed my craft but also earned me recognition for my dedication to the art of storytelling. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1209157/

Future: Author of "Flipping My Script"
My first book, a memoir. "Flipping My Script". You will relate with this book because it explores themes of resilience, identity, and the impact of socio-economic factors. It provides insight into the challenges and struggles I faced, including family tragedy, poverty, stereotypes, and the urban environment, offering a window into a specific time and place while highlighting universal themes of personal growth and overcoming adversity.
