For years, fans of the hit 90s sitcom Martin have been left scratching their heads over one lingering question - what was Tommy's job? Played by actor Tommy Ford, the character of Tommy seemed to be the only member of the main cast without a clear profession. Some fans speculated that he might have been a drug dealer, while others simply accepted that his job would forever remain a mystery.
However, in a recent interview with Math Hoffa, Carl Anthony Payne, who portrayed Cole on the show, finally revealed the truth about Tommy's job. According to Payne, Tommy was not a drug dealer or a deadbeat like some may have thought. In fact, Tommy was a child advocate in real life, dedicating his time to making a change for the future.
Payne described Tommy as his best friend off-screen and shared that Tommy was passionate about reaching out and giving back to the community. He was heavily involved in mentoring young boys, teaching them how to grow into responsible men. You can hear more above.
