While he was performing onstage in "Mama Ama el Rock", a producer in the audience took notice of Martin's acting and offered him a role in the Mexican telenovela "Alcanzar una estrella" after the show. He also joined the cast for the second season of the show, titled "Alcanzar una estrella II". A film based on the TV series, titled "Más que alcanzar una estrella", was also produced in which Martin starred and in 1993 earned an El Heraldo Award for his role. The show centered around a fictional musical group called Muñecos de Papel, in which Martin played Pablo Loredo, one of the six members; the group toured several cities in Mexico and recorded two albums. Although he had hoped to take a break from touring after Menudo, Martin enjoyed the experience as he got along well with the other members.
