Adrian Martinez (born January 20, 1972) is an American actor and comedian, known for The Secret Life of Walter Mitty and Focus.

## Career

Martinez started his acting career with the series America's Most Wanted in 1993. He has worked in the theater, and a member of LAByrinth Theater Company.
In 2009, Martinez appeared in Grand Theft Auto IV: The Lost and Damned as Brian Jeremy, the secondary antagonist.
In 2010, he appeared in the action comedy Cop Out as Tino, released on February 26, 2010, by Warner Bros. Pictures. He portrayed Ginger Goon in the superhero comedy film Kick-Ass, directed by Matthew Vaughn and released on April 16, 2010.
In 2012, Martinez appeared in Spanish-language comedy and Will Ferrell vehicle Casa de Mi Padre as Manuel. The film was directed by Matt Piedmont and was released on March 16, 2012.
In 2013, Martinez appeared in the comedy film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty as Hernando, Mitty's understudy. Later he took a role in American Hustle as Julius. In 2014, Martinez appeared in the superhero film The Amazing Spider-Man 2 as 'Bodega Cashier'.
In 2015, Martinez took on the prominent role of Farhad in the heist comedy Focus. The film was released on February 27, 2015, by Warner Bros. Focus was his first main role in the career of 20 years, which Martinez likened to "running in a marathon for 20 years and somebody from the side just reached out and handed [him] a cup of Champagne."
In 2015 Martinez acted in the comedy film Sisters, released on December 18, 2015, and the action comedy Once Upon a Time in Venice (also known as LA Vengeance in the UK) starring Bruce Willis. The film was delayed and eventually released via video-on-demand to poor reviews in 2017.

Martinez will also be starring in the American espionage thriller The Amateur, set for debut in 2025.
