In 1922, Martin produced a film, ''Tepee Love'', a romance, starring Martin and Dolores Contreras. The film played in [[Glendale, California]], and [[Burbank, California]], in 1922; a second film project never was finished.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Agrasánchez |first=Rogelio |title=Guillermo Calles: a biography of the actor and Mexican cinema pioneer |publisher=McFarland & Co |year=2010 |isbn=978-0-7864-4945-3 |location=Jefferson, N.C |pages=45}}</ref> By 1925, Martin had become a frequent, although unnamed character, in silent movies.

Martin was adept in both drama and comedy, in films like the melodramatic ''[[The Ox-Bow Incident]]'' (1943) as "Poncho" the Mexican who reluctantly becomes a part of the lynch mob of three hastily accused killers (Dana Andrews, Anthony Quinn, and Francis Ford). It is Martin who reluctantly becomes Quinn's confessor. His comic sensibilities were best utilized in light fare, as in ''[[A Millionaire for Christy]]'' (1951). In this [[Fred MacMurray]] comedy, Martin plays a brief but memorable role as "Manolo", a Mexican who knows no English, whom MacMurray enlists to help pull his stranded car out of the beach, along with Martin's non-English speaking crew. His animated performance with MacMurray proves Martin to be every bit the entertaining supporting actor, stealing many of his scenes. |

In 1922, Martin produced a film, Tepee Love, a romance, starring Martin and Dolores Contreras. The film played in Glendale, California, and Burbank, California, in 1922; a second film project never was finished.[5] By 1925, Martin had become a frequent, although unnamed character, in silent movies. His roles were as a bumbling or slow comedic character who spoke in broken English.
Martin's most remembered western film role was in nine of the Cisco Kid films playing the Kid's sidekicks Gordito and in the later films Pancho.[6] He also appeared in the John Ford classic Stagecoach (1939) with John Wayne.
