Bella Zoe Martinez

Biography

Bella is an actress known for Glory & Injustice, The Vanished (2020), and The Infiltrators (2019). Glory garnered 19 wins on the festival circuit — including a Breakthrough Performance Award from the Downtown Film Festival L.A., for Bella. She began acting as a form of therapy to recover from severe bullying in middle school related to her autism. From there Bella trained with Gary Spatz and others at the Playground LA Young Actor's Conservatory. Bella was inspired to expand to writing when she noticed how characters with autism are often portrayed in film and television. Of this, she says: "All autistic characters were the same stereotype with no real depth to them as a person. There was never an understanding of how we think or see the world, or went beneath the surface in a character sense. I want to change that.” A jack-of-all-trades, Bella is also a recording artist - she wrote the song "Distant Goodbyes" featured in the film Once More, Like Rain Man, and has a new original single soon to be released, Garden of Art, as well as recording the theme song for an animated show, Mama's Ducks. She also designs merch with her brother and sister under the Artsy Toon Co. banner. Bella is the great grand-niece of Mexican Film star Jorge Negrete.

Steven Seagal is an American action film star, producer, writer, martial artist, guitarist, and a reserve deputy sheriff.

By 1991, he had starred in three successful films, and would go on to achieve greater fame in Under Siege (1992), where he played Navy SEALs counter-terrorist expert Casey Ryback.
