Natasha Lee Martin began her career at the age of 5 when she was cast in a radio play for WSAR Radio called "The Man in the Snow".  Directed by her uncle David Tulli, this was to become a source of inspiration for many roles to come.  In the years since Natasha has appeared in television and film roles on FOX, TLC, DISNEY, NIPPON TV JAPAN and many stages throughout Philadelphia, NYC and Los Angeles and in the USA. Trained at the Actor's Studio Program in NYC, Natasha holds an MFA in Acting Pedagogy from VCU and attended the Actor's Studio Program in New York City where she trained extensively in Stanislavski, Strasberg (Moscow Art Theater) Kazan, Hagen and Meisner and at Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater.
