Zach Martin, well-known for playing action heros and comedic characters, is trying his hand at drama. He's been cast as the lead in Ryu Kygama's Solar. Kygama said that Martin, despite not being known for drama, was who he had in mind when he wrote the script and he's thrilled that he was able to cast him.
We caught up with Zach on the red carpet for his latest movie, Afterburner, and briefly talked to him about his new role.
"I'm really excited," Martin said, grinning for the camera. "I haven't had a chance to play a character like this before. I'm looking forward to the challenge. We start shooting in two weeks."
We wish Martin luck with his new role. Afterburner opens everywhere next week.

Zach tugged the ball cap lower over his forehead as he stepped into the coffee shop that was around the corner from the small house he was renting while shooting Solar. He had a late night of shooting last night and his coffee maker had broken so he was in search of some caffeine. His call wasn't until late again today because they were doing more evening shots so he had plenty of time to get himself caffeinated before he had to head down to the set. He should probably see about getting a new coffee maker as well.
He got himself a large cup of coffee and a piece of quiche, settling into an armchair in the corner to check email and thumb through Twitter for a bit. He had someone who took care of most of his social media for him, but he did like to check in every now and then himself. He had posted a couple of photos since he had arrived in Spring Grove, mostly of his dog Leo and hikes they had gone on around town. So far everyone had been pretty nice and had either been really polite about asking for pictures or autographs or just left him alone. It was a nice change from being in LA.
He sat there long enough that he didn't notice the coffee shop filling up, lost in reading some articles on his phone. His coffee was empty and his food long gone when someone quietly cleared their throat and asked if he minded if they sat at his table. Zach looked up, startled and then moved his empty dishes to one side.
"No, no go ahead. Plenty of room."
