#Quote
1On ad-libs: "I've been allowed to add a bit of dialogue to the characters now and then, just to help the illusion. When I portrayed a German count, there was a scene where a tough dived at me from the stairway. I side-stepped him and ad-libbed, Have a nice trip.' I was allowed to keep it in. "Later, one man grabbed me from behind and another came at me from the front. I added, 'That's no way to treat an old man.' That was left in too. [From the 1st season B&W Episode "The Night of the Burning Diamond."]
2On the hazards of a job requiring changes in appearance: "I went home one afternoon to pick up a script without bothering to change, and a half an hour later the Beverly Hills Police were at my door because a neighbor had reported a suspicious stranger lurking around Ross Martin's house. I had to peel off my beard to prove who I was."
#Fact
1Was separated from first wife Muriel at the time of her death; they had one daughter together. He later adopted his second wife's son and daughter.
2He is interred in Mount Sinai Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles, California.
3Best remembered by the public for his co-starring role as "Artemus Gordon" in The Wild Wild West (1965).
4At the time of his death in 1981, Martin and Robert Conrad were in the planning stages of another "Wild, Wild West" TV series.
5With a penchant for playing villains, he received a Golden Globe nomination for his terrifying role in Experiment in Terror (1962). As a promotion and publicity stunt for the film, Columbia chose to withheld the identity of Martin from the press until the film opened. It helped bring interest to the film, but in the long run, hurt the unknown Martin.
6One half of a vaudeville comedy duo from 1937-1941 called "Ross & West." His partner was Bernard West.
7His natural ability for dialects led him to radio while in his 20s, performing on three daytime radio serials at once, including the part of a 62-year-old Viennese gent. At one time, the prolific actor was a regular in eight separate major series on all the different networks. He ended up with his own radio program, "The Ross Martin Show.".
8An accomplished musician, he was a violin virtuoso at age 8, playing solo with the junior symphony orchestra.
9A singer on Broadway, he played Nathan Detroit in a Broadway touring company of "Guys and Dolls" in the 1950s.
10Had two daughters: Phyllis, Rebecca; one son, George.
11His wife Olavee Grinrod, died February 3, 2002.
12In Columbo: Suitable for Framing (1971), many a viewer notes the marvelous interplay between Martin and Peter Falk. This is to be expected; Martin was Falk's acting instructor in years past. The two also worked together in The Great Race (1965).
