LA/Bay Area actor Nina Martina

LA/Bay Area actor Nina Martina[/caption]Nina Martina makes the transition from film to stage playing multiple roles in Liberace in Pacific Grove. The LA/Bay area actor embraces another professional challenge but nothing compared the challenges she’s faced in her personal life. Once helpless and hopeless in the throes of food addiction, Martina lost over 100 pounds with the realization the healing needed to come from the inside rather than a dress size. The self-described “sushi whore” confesses to her guilty food pleasure, admits to trying a Luther Burger (briefly) and offers hope to anyone as living proof that it’s never too late to chase your dream.

Any other addiction, it's cold turkey. You need to stop smoking, addicted to cigarettes, you have to stop. Period! You're addicted to drinking, you can't just have a beer. You can't have any, ever. Or any other drug. Well, you can't do that with food.

"Auditioning and acting--getting the gig are two different jobs, very different jobs. When you to go an audition. your job is to carry out the audition, period. It's not to get the job because you may or may not get the job and that's completely unrelated to what you did in the audition. So when I go to the auditions, I'm going just for that--for the audition, for the experience. I love it. I audition for three main reasons."

Bay Area Actor Solana Paz is Living the Dream

"If I don't get it, it's there loss. There's so many factors. If they don't want an accent and I went with my best accent, okay. That's out of my control at that moment. If I look like the ex-girlfriend of somebody and they don't want to hire me, I have zero control over that. There are so many factors that, honestly, I just don't take it personally. It's not up to me."
