Career
Martinez in 2007

Martinez may be best known for her role in the 2008 film Death Race, or perhaps for her role as Michelle Miller on the telenovela Fashion House (2006), cancelled after three months.

She was cast as a major character in the series Chuck, appearing in first-season promotional pictures, but the showrunner decided to cut her character before the pilot was aired.[3]

Martinez had starring roles in a number of other television series that were cancelled after one season, including Detroit 1-8-7, APB and The Crossing. She starred in the first season of Under the Dome, appearing in the season two premiere so her character could be killed off. She co-starred in one season of Secrets and Lies, and played the recurring role of Detective Jamie Lovato for one season in the crime drama CSI: NY.

In September 2018, it was announced that Martinez will appear in the main role of Chase on the Netflix science fiction miniseries The I-Land.[4] The miniseries was released on September 12, 2019.[5]

Martinez' other film appearances include End of Watch (2012), Broken City (2013) and Self/less (2015).[6]
