Hispanic-American character player Benito Martinez evinced laudable diversity, both in his choice of acting mediums and in his choice of genres. A New Mexico native, Martinez moved to Southern California as a youth and enrolled in the famous Hollywood High's Performing Arts Magnet, then opted to pursue theatrical work in lieu of film and moved to England after graduation. In that locale, Martinez studied at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art and received classical training, professionally exercised in such venues as Joseph Papp's Public Theater, the World Shakespeare Theater Festival, and The Arizona Theater Company. Martinez returned to America and commenced film work in the early 2000s, with guest starring roles on series programs including American Family, Monk, Numb3rs and NYPD: Blue. He developed his most enduring reputation, however, with an ongoing, multi-season portrayal of the scheming and manipulative Councilman Aceveda on the FX network's smash cop drama The Shield. The actor remained with the program from the beginning of its run (c. 2002) through its final season (2008-9). His resume also includes supporting roles in such feature outings as the slasher opus Saw (2004) and the inspirational sports drama Million Dollar Baby (2004).
