Russell Nathan Jeanson Coltrane Martin, Jr. (born February 15, 1983, in East York, Ontario) is a Canadian Major League Baseball catcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers. Martin was born in East York, Ontario (in the east end of Toronto). He grew up in Chelsea, Quebec, Canada and lived in Paris, France from the age of 8-10. Martin has an African Canadian father, Russell Martin Sr., and a white, French Canadian mother, singer and actress, Suzanne Jeanson. His parents separated when he was only two years old.
