Ian Martin (April 29, 1912 – July 25, 1981) was an American actor on Broadway, radio, and television and a writer.
[3] Fieldston,[4] the private school that he attended, had some classes taught in French and German, which helped him to pick up accents and dialects that he later used as an actor.
[1] He also prepared for the role by observing older people in everyday situations, taking note of such things as their infirmities, the way they walked, and their posture.
[1] Other Broadway productions in which Martin appeared included The Devil's Disciple (1950), Captain Brassbound's Conversion (1950), The King of Friday's Men (1951), Spofford (1967), Lost in the Stars (1972), and The Changing Room (1973).
[2] Later in his career, Martin acted in regional theater, including performances at the Main Street Theatre in White Plains, New York,[7] and with the Civic Light Opera in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
