Personal
comments from fellow cast member, George S. Irving:
So
you want to know about Ross Martin? Makes me feel like a
scene from "Citizen Kane". He and I worked
together in a musical called "Archie and Mehitabel"
[note: later changed to Shinbone Alley}. He was an
extraordinary actor with a marvelous technique. He could
imitate the great British "Sirs"' Olivier, Richardson
and Gieldgud - and the Queen for good measure!
Impeccably. He was a very emotional man - would tell me
his woes and sometimes burst into tears of frustration. We
both hated the show but did our best and paid the rent. I
was glad he became successful in California and perhaps found
contentment at long last. We lost touch at that point but
I was glad of our brief friendship.

Los Angeles Times - Apr 17, 1962
All of us who want stimulating plays in our theater are indebted
to the Pasadena Playhouse for presenting Jean Anouilh's
"Becket" which rekindles an historic struggle between
church and state as fought to a finish by England's King Henry
II and Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury. This production
at season's end crowns the Playhouse's theatrical year. The
Anouilh drama not only confronts large issues, it gives two
young actors, Ray Danton and Ross Martin, a chance to confront
large roles - the kind they would not ordinarily play in films
or on television. You will, I think, find them exceeding
expectations

Ross
Martin is superb, a sterling actor showing sensitivity,
perception and polish in every taxing area. |
