- When he was a child, his family referred to him as "A" or "Little A" to distinguish him from his father and grandfather, also named Adolpho. The nickname stuck and he eventually took "A Martinez" as his stage name.
- A native Californian of blended heritage (Mexican and Apache on his father's side, Piegan Blackfeet and Northern European on his mother's) he played Native Americans in several of his early western films.
- Made his singing debut at age 12 at the Hollywood Bowl where he won a talent competition.
- Played five seasons on a semi-pro baseball team.
- Won a daytime Emmy award for his hunky role as Cruz in the soap opera Santa Barbara (1984).
- How beautiful is Marcy Walker? She's exquisite, and in so deep a way.
- We have a similar method of approaching the tasks of acting, Marcy [Walker] and I, and that similarity made it possible for us to build an early trust with one another.
- Every memory I have of SANTA BARBARA is dwarfed by working with Marcy [Walker].
- I would have loved to have played the guy Tom Berenger played in En liberté dans les champs du Seigneur (1991). I was up for it. I understood why they went with him. Tom's a much bigger name than I am, or was then. But I really feel I had a take on that guy that was worthy. Beyond that, you start realizing as the years pass that the clock is not with you.
