However, the change wasn’t permanent. Martin revealed he still used his birth name on legal documents. Since his name change, Martin has starred and appeared in a number of movies and TV shows. His most notable were in the films Badlands and Apocalypse Now. Looking back at the move, which turned him into a successful movie star, Martin admitted to regret keeping his birth-given name. From 1999 to 2006, he starred as President Josiah Bartlet in The West Wing. Martin was nominated for an Emmy six times for this role and won six of his eight Golden Globe nominations. The actor has also appeared alongside his sons Emilio and Charlie on the big screen.

He and Janet celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 2011.
