Martin Klebba

Martin Klebba didn't set out to be a screen star; he was a nightclub bouncer in Michigan before a chance encounter with a casting director changed his trajectory. Moving to Los Angeles, he leveraged his background in gymnastics and his distinctive physicality to carve a niche in the demanding world of stunt performance. His breakout came not with a line of dialogue, but with a physical performance: the frenetic, scene-stealing turn as the pirate Marty in the 'Pirates of the Caribbean' series. Klebba's career is a testament to perseverance in an industry not always designed for him, building a filmography that includes work with directors like Tim Burton and Michael Bay. Beyond stunts, he has shown a comedic timing that makes his characters, often in high-profile franchises like 'Men in Black II' or 'The Scorpion King', instantly recognizable. He operates outside the camera's glare as well, co-owning a popular bar in his hometown, a venture that speaks to his grounded Midwestern roots amidst Hollywood glamour.
