Martin, John (1770–1807), actor. Although William
Dunlap calls him the first native American to become a professional player, he was probably deprived of that honor by the young Princeton graduate known only as
Greville. However, he almost certainly was the first American to have an extended career on his native stages. Dunlap wrote of him, “He was of fair complexion, middle height, light figure, and played the youthful characters of many tragedies and comedies in a style called respectable. . . . He laboured hard, lived poor, and died young.” Martin made his debut as Young Norval in
Douglas at the
John Street Theatre in 1791. He later played such roles as Mendoza in Sheridan's
The Duenna, Octavius in
Julius Caesar, Malcolm in
Macbeth, and in 1794 created the role of Ferdinand in
Tammany.
