He was looking so handsome and acting so brilliantly that even Gare (the unlucky husband in the film) had to admit that Martinez was a better bet and any woman would fall for him.Born to a working class family, and raised in the suburbs of Paris, Martinez initially had no mind to enter Hollywood. He did various odd jobs including a stint as a boxer, fighing professionally as a welterweight in Europe. He made his motion picture debut in 1992's "Jean Jacques Beineix's IP5: "L'île aux pachydermes" (1992). In 1994, he received the Cesar Award for Most Promising Young Actor for his work in Bertrand Blier's drama "1, 2, 3 Sun."

His credits also include 1997's "The Chambermaid on the Titanic," Julian Schnabel's critically acclaimed 2000's "Before Night Falls."

Bull Fighting Postponed
Bullfighter" was made in 2000 but it is being released on video 5 years later for some reason. It is only a guess that factors such as confusing storyline, the incomprehensible dialogue said by Oliver Martinez, and the annoying editing are responsible for such a long delay.

Stubborn, stubborn, stubborn, is how he describes himself. All faults forgotten atleast he is honest!In this world of showbiz, all stars have a veneer over their actual self but Oliver chooses to be honest about himself. And that is what matters. 
One never thought of it when one sees him on screen but the fact is that Olivier is only 5'7" tall. If you go by his acting, he is so energetic, not to say strong and seductive that one never seems to notice that.
