Martin Henderson
Biography
Martin Henderson is a New Zealand actor from Auckland who began acting as a teenager in the local television production Strangers. His role as Stuart Neilson on the soap opera Shortland Street, which he played from 1992 to 1995, made him a familiar face at home. He moved to the United States in 1997 and studied at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York, where he played Hamlet off-Broadway. A supporting turn in Kick earned him an AACTA Award nomination in 2000, and he went on to appear in Windtalkers (2002) and The Ring (2002), followed by the lead in Torque (2004) and a part in Bride and Prejudice (2004). He played Dr. Ben Keeton in Off the Map and Dr. Nathan Riggs in Grey's Anatomy from 2015 to 2017, and has starred as Jack Sheridan in Virgin River since 2019.
