Chris-Pin Martin appeared in the John Ford classic "Stagecoach" (1939) with John Wayne. He was credited in his films by other names, including Chrispin Martin, Chris King Martin, Chris Martin, Cris-Pin Martin, and Ethier Crispin Martini. Martin was adept in both drama and comedy, in films like the melodramatic "The Ox-Bow Incident" (1943) as "Poncho" the Mexican who reluctantly becomes a part of the lynch mob of three hastily accused killers (Dana Andrews, Anthony Quinn, and Francis Ford).
