Jesse Lamont Watkins was born on the 18th January 1969, in Rocky Mount, Virginia USA, and is a film, television and theatre actor, whose most famous role is probably that of Detective Ed Green in the TV crime series “Law & Order” (1999 – 2008). Martin has been active in the entertainment industry since 1993.

How much is the net worth of Jesse L. Martin? It has been estimated by authoritative sources that the overall size of his wealth is as much as $10 million, as of the data presented in late 2016. Acting is the main source of Martin’s net worth.

To begin with, he was raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains, the youngest of five children born to the family of truck driver Jesse Reed Watkins and college counsellor Virginia Price. His parents separated when he was still a child and he took the surname of his stepfather. During his primary school days his new family moved to Buffalo, New York, where due to his distinct Southern accent, Jesse was quiet and shy at school. However, a teacher persuaded him to take a role in a school theatre performance of the fairy tale “The Golden Goose”; he was given the role of a pastor and played it with his accent as a minister of the Southern Baptist Convention. After matriculating from high school, he enrolled into the Buffalo Academy for Visual and Performing Arts, in which he was elected as the most talented actor in his final year. Afterwards, he studied at the Tisch School of the Arts of New York University.

After graduating, he went to the John Houseman theatre company and immediately started touring, playing on the stages of Actors Theatre of Louisville and the Cleveland Playhouse among others. After returning to New York he stepped onto smaller stages, but he was seen in soap operas and commercials too. After some time, he received roles on Broadway in award-winning pieces, and from 1998 he landed roles in independent films and in a short broadcast series. During a Broadway production he was seen by David E. Kelley, who was looking for an actor for the role of a new lover for the main character of the series “Ally McBeal”, and as a result, he played the role of Dr. Greg Butters. In addition, he appeared in the series “The X-Files” (1999). While still working in the series of “Ally McBeal”, he heard that Benjamin Bratt was leaving the series “Law & Order”, and Jesse asked the producers of the series to be considered for the role of Detective Ed Green, and got the role, which he subsequently played from 1999 by 2008. Meanwhile, he appeared in the independent film “The Cake Eaters” (2007) by Mary Stuart Masterson, the romantic independent drama film “Peter and Vandy” (2009) by Jay DiPietro, musical comedy drama film “Joyful Noise” (2012) by Todd Gradd, as well as other films. Since 2014, he has embodied the detective Joe West in the series “The Flash”.

Finally, in the personal life of the actor, he is apparently still single. Currently, he resides in Manhattan.

Jesse Lamont Watkins Quotes

• From Men’s Health: Trusting my own instincts has led me to great places. When I was younger, someone telling me I couldn’t do something was like saying, ‘Try.’ You get mad at them and yourself, because they make you think, I don’t know if I really can do it. Maybe they’re right. Then the anger feeds you, and next thing you know, you’ve done exactly what they said you wouldn’t do, and a little more.
• From Men’s Health: Go back to what’s good, what’s certain, what’s always there. You woke up today. Just start walking. Whatever it is, it’ll pass. Time doesn’t go backward. That’s the one real blessing. It happened; it does you no good to worry. Keep it movin’.
• I want to be remembered as a great actor – and a shining example of humanity.
• I honestly believe there are good things happening in this world, and I’ll spend most of my time trying to find them and bring them to light.
