Orlando Martins
Orlando Martins (1899–1985) was a pioneering Nigerian film and stage actor. In the late 1940s, he was one of England's most prominent and leading "black" actors,〔Harry Levette, "This is Hollywood". ''Chicago Defender'', September 10, 1949, p. 25.〕 and in a poll conducted in 1947, he was listed among England's top 15 favorite actors.〔Al Monroe, "Swinging the News," ''Chicago Defender'', October 18, 1947, p. 19.〕
==Life==
Martins was born in Lagos, to a civil servant Brazilian father. He was related to the Benjamin Epega family. During World War I he served as a stoker on the RMS ''Mauretania'' to avenge German cruelty to his family.
Following the end of the war, he moved to England: on arrival in 1919 he joined Sanger's Circus and started his performing career in the chorus. He also worked as a wrestler (known as "Black Butcher Johnson")〔(Stephen Bourne, ''Black in the British Frame: The Black Experience in British Film and Television'', London: Continuum, 2001; chapter 7, "Robert Adams and Orlando Martins: Men of Two Worlds", pp. 76-80. )〕
