The Actor Hollywood Forgot: Pioneer D'Urville Martin

The Actor Hollywood Forgot is the story of one of Hollywood's formidable actors who never received the true acclaim he deserved. He was one of the few black actors that worked during the 60's in some of the most iconic Television and Films that had predominantly all white cast members. D'Urville Martin was a hyphenate in the industry since he was an Actor, Writer, Director and Producer which is the definition of a true hyphenate. D'Urville's career took a turn when he decided to participate in films with a majority of black cast members. These films were coined as "Black Exploitation Films" this was a term that D'Urville detested. The reason being, is because people forgot the most important fact, that many black actors received an abundance of work. These films actually saved the Industry because not only were they low budget films, but they were huge box office successes, for their time. After Hollywood saw the appeal of these low budget films with great box office returns they decided to employ more black actors to attract new moviegoers. The exposure that D'Urville received in the films he was casted in inspired other African Americans to pursue a career as thespians. This is why today D'Urville Martin is recognized for his role as a pioneer in the movie industry by many people, but because Hollywood has been unjust to this great thespian this book had to be written. And who else could tell this revealing story from a true insider perspective than his very own Nephew who was mentored by his uncle and also worked in the entertainment industry. The Author of this book has busted wide open the tell-all-story of "The Actor Hollywood Forgot".
