LA-based Argentine actor Martín Rodríguez is known for his versatility, having played a variety of roles and particularly excelling at portraying complex and realistic characters. His film debut in 2009 was the leading role in Leo’s Room by Enrique Buchichio, which premiered during the San Sebastian International Film Festival. For this work he received several awards including the Uruguayan Film Critics Association Award for Best Actor and Best Male Newcomer, Best Actor at the Del Mar Festival - Ibiza, Spain and Best Actor at the Cine de la Luna Festival, Spain. In 2014, he starred in Buchichio's film Zanahoria, which won the Colón de Oro at the 40th edition of the Huelva Ibero-American Film Festival.

After participating in numerous film productions in Argentina, Brazil and Uruguay he starred alongside to Sofia Vergara in the Netflix original limited series Griselda, as the character of Jorge “Rivi” Ayala-Rivera, the well-known righthand hitman of Griselda Blanco.

His performance in the Netflix series has earned the recognition of audiences and top critics worldwide.  

Variety’s TV Critic Aramide Tinubu commented, “The entire cast, including Vergara, is stellar in this display of ambition and retaliation. However, Martín Rodríguez’s turn as Jorge “Rivi” Ayala-Rivera, a top-hitter in Miami, is one of the most mesmerizing performances of a criminal mastermind on TV recently. Slithery, erratic and sensual, he has a disturbing presence anchoring the audience in the era and super-specific world.”

In May 2024, he was recognized with the "Industry Excellence Award" by the French Riviera Film Festival, premiering the short film Quimera by Tomas Vergara, during the Festival de Cannes. 

He recently finished filming a new series created by Sebastian Ortega and produced by Telemundo titled En el Barro, a spin-off of the popular series El Marginal, which will premiere next year on Netflix.
