Martin Dingle Wall was born & raised in Bondi Beach, Australia.

He is the middle child of Georgina Dingle & William Edward Wall, with his older brother Jamie an Airline Captain & his younger sister Sally Vice President of Animal Liberation N.S.W.

Martin was raised on the North end of Bondi as a nipper with the North Bondi Surf Life Savers Club, he was schooled in Rose Bay Public (Junior School), Waverly College (Senior School) & Randwick T.A.F.E. (Graphic Design Diploma).

After graduating from the 2-year diploma at T.A.F.E. at age 18 Martin promptly joined the ranks of Walt Disney Television Animation Australia as an in-betweener where he remained for three years before taking his savings at age 21 and purchasing a one-way ticket to Europe.

The following three years spent traveling Europe, Scandinavia & Canada was the experience required for Martins doors to truly open up.

Returning home at age 24 Martin commenced his studies at the Actors centre. Freelancing as an Illustrator to fund his studies , Martin secured an acting agent (Sue Barnett & Associates), commencing his access into audition rooms. Freelancing subsided as various television commercials & bit-sized parts were booked building his reputation in the acting community.

In 2001 Martin became a household name being cast as Flynn Saunders in Home & Away & attended his first Logies as a nominee for ‘Best New Talent’.

INSPIRATION

I am inspired by the 1 PERCENTERS.

The activists. Those who ask the questions. Why? How come? Says who? Those that don't take things at face value. Who don't always bend with popular opinion.

Who put their body on the line for their beliefs. Who see the big picture when most see only tomorrow. Societies struggle to accept them. Governments try to ignore them.

But they cannot be silenced lobbied or bought off. They are driven to protect this planet of ours. Belief is all they have. All they need. And they fight on all our behalf's.

We do not thank them. There will be no monuments built in their name. They will never be asked for their autograph. We will not know their names.

But without them, who is speaking for the trees? Who will speak for the rivers, the seas, the wild places? Who will speak for the air we breathe?

Indeed, who will speak on behalf of this planet of ours?

WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT. WHAT IS WORRYING IS OUR DESIRE TO DO SO.

After Martins departure from Summer Bay in Home & Away as Flynn Saunders, he followed the well-trodden path to England. Shying away from the more traditional work offers, Martin was booked for the PEUGEOT 307 SW Campaign (shot on location in Mexico), starred in a short film with BBC – ‘Out of Water’ and went on to secured the Rosmund Pilcher series SUMMER SOLSTICE, (Shot on location in Scotland) working opposite screen greats such as Jaqueline Bisset & Honor Blackman (Bonds Pussy Galore), Sinead Cusak & Jason Durr.

In this time away Martin also completed his first two Screen Plays. HEART OF A NATION & PARIAH. The same Production Company in Shepperton Studios England optioned both scripts.

Martin returned after a 3-year absence, back to Australia in 2007 with the re gained rights to his second script PARIAH to shoot here. Contacting his friend Mark Fitzpatrick to do a final script edit, it was discovered that Marks exceptional original screenplay THE NOTHING MEN, after having been adapted from screen to stage (In which Martin appeared immediately following Home & Away) to generate cinema production interest 3 years earlier, was back in his draw despite interest & effort from the very respected John Brousek & Anthony Buckley.

Focus & attentions shifted dramatically with this discovery that the hardest & most socially relevant screenplay Martin had ever read in Australia was available.

Martin with his co producer set out with the permission of the writer Mark Fitzpatrick to achieve this at last. Martin & Mark Fitzpatrick fused their mutual interest & created ALCHEMY FILM PRODUCTIONS P/L.

THE NOTHING MEN is their first offering & Mark’s directorial debut. It is also the Film that pioneered the RED Digital Cinema Camera System in The Southern Hemisphere, second Feature Film in the world only to Steven Soderburgh’s two part Biopic on Che Cuervara ‘Che/The Argentine’ to be shot on RED.
