Gabriella Martinez is a Dominican American actress. She grew up a bi-coastal child having been born in NY and moving to Las Vegas at a young age. She took her passion for acting very seriously and at the young age of 6 years old along with her parents traveled to LA weekly in search of landing her dream job. Some days consisted of an eight-hour drive back and forth and attending virtual school on the road. This did not deter her dedication. She has always had an incredibly positive outlook that has prepared her for this long journey. Gabriella attended theatre and acting classes weekly and is still dedicated to this day. She has trained consistently with, Constance Tillotson, Billy Hufsey, Amy Lyndon, Lisa Picotte, and Margie Haber Studios to name a few. Gabriella has worked in leading female roles on many films based out of Las Vegas and also produced alongside director Joe Lujan. Her resume includes credits with Eric Roberts, Adriana Barranza, Nathan Lane, Tom Sizemore, Tom Arnold, Macy Gray, and many others. Her first on-screen role was on Young Sheldon (CBS). Her most recent credits include the roles of Cristy on Grown-ish (Freeform & HULU), Vera on S.W.A.T (CBS), Ana on Penny Dreadful City of Angels (Showtime) as well as Ashley on Today's Special, alongside Michael Cera and Jane Lynch (TBS) and a voice-over role on The Chosen One (Netflix) When not filming, Gabriella volunteers her time with a few non-profit organizations including Hope Means Nevada, a mental health awareness organization. She earned a degree in Social and Behavioral Science and spends her time writing and wants to produce and direct to offer others opportunities in the industry.
Most data and links to images for the Movies section come from TheMovieDB (TMDB).
Additional data for Film Titles come from The Open Movie Database (OMDb).
At least one plug-in comes from IMDb.
Data are -- hey, it's a plural -- subject to the limitations of their sources. (For example, TMDB search results currently max out at 20.) I am limiting myself to free data sources for now. (No, a "free trial" is not free.)
While much of the above data are retrieved directly from outside APIs and other such sources, data from American Film Institute (AFI) and British Film Institute (BFI) were manually entered the old fashioned way into a MySQL database. Re BFI I took the following liberties:
Regarding profile removals and data corrections:
Filtering is applied here to film projects flagged as "adult" by TheMovieDB. Pending "popular demand" I am contemplating a login and profile system with preferences (such as whether to allow adult images to appear) and permissions (such as data entry).
Whereas the overall purpose of this website is to serve as a personal demo/portfolio/workshop of web and data skills, this Movies section is not meant to compete with or substitute for far more definitive movie websites.
Whether or not he still clings to an award which he won in 1986 as a film critic for his college's newspaper, Jeffrey Hartmann is not responsible for the texts of overviews and biographies supplied by external data sources.
