Doc Martin (he/him) is an enigma. Part 18th century Scottish Jacobite, 1950s beatnik poet, and 2020s all-around eccentric, this bohemian time traveler is the guy you didn’t know you needed. He’s sweet, he’s loyal, and if you get too close, you’ll stick. To get charged up, this granddad of one and dad of at least two swears by the fresh air at the top of a mountain and at least 3 cups of coffee a day. He believes in leaving the world more beautiful than when you found it, which is why he copiously paints nudes. Doc Martin is a veteran of the Exposed stage, but if this is your first time, you’ll recognize him as the curiously handsome Edward Norton-type in a kilt with a feather in his cap.
