We had the good fortune of connecting with Willy Martin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Willy, why did you pursue a creative career?
It’s not something I chose … This career chose me. I became an actor and then a television presenter through a series of opportunities that were presented throughout my life, mainly my childhood and adolescence.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I seek excellence in each project in which I join, but without a doubt what distinguishes me is that I always seek to tell a story, beyond playing a character or presenting a television program, my idea is to tell a story of overcoming and of achievements. I have tried to print that in everything I have done, so that people feel motivated to succeed and achieve their dreams. I like to positively impact the lives of the people who see my work. I would love for the world to know that everything we set out to do can be achieved if we work with a plan to achieve it.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
Miami is full of fascinating places to visit, but I think that no one can come to this city without spending an afternoon at the Perez Art Museum, nor the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science, nor can they stop eating a delicious pizza at Spriss in Lincoln Road, or stop walking on Ocean Drive. At night you can’t miss spending time at Twist. Eating at Versailles or La Carreta, to have that little flavor of Cuba that distinguishes this city, is another duty of those who come to Miami.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
My mom for the support from the first day of my career, my work team, and all the directors, teachers and actors who inspire me every day.
