Martin has been working in the industry since the age of 15. He has always worked for what he wanted and knew at a young age that Hollywood California was his destination. Born and raised in Sacramento California as Martin Meguelhin. He changed his last name to Lion when he registered as an actor because casting directors couldn't pronounce and say it correctly. In Sacramento, he did odd jobs to make ends meet, booking modeling gigs in print and runway as well as acting projects on his own. Two short films he did, "Sweet Pills" and "Love and Lost" were one of a few shorts that were picked to be shown in select IMAX theaters in Northern California.His drive and a strong interest in the industry finally moved him to Los Angels California in 2016.
