A graduate of the Conservatoire of Dramatic Arts in Montreal in 1994, Martin-David Peters has had a prolific career. In theatre, he has performed on the stages of TNM (A View from the Bridge) and Théâtre Jean-Duceppe (Of Mice and Men). He also took part in the landmark play My Name Is Mohamed Ali, directed by Tatiana Zinga Botao and Philippe Racine, as well as in two powerful productions: Desperate Times, Desperate Measures (Les Agents Doubles Productions) and Club Sandwich Mayonnaise (Porte Parole).

On screen, he has appeared in Black Series and Fragile (his first Gémeaux Award nomination in 2020). Starting in 2021, projects followed one another. He landed roles in After, The Man Who Loved Too Much, Plan B, and two standout series: Audrey Is Back (Gémeaux nomination in 2022) and Empathy. He also portrayed lawyer Frédéric Legrand for two seasons in the daily series Unbreakable Defense (Gémeaux nominations in 2023 and 2024).

In film, he played Jean-Marc in Stéphane Lafleur’s award-winning movie Viking (2022).

After completing screenwriting training at L’INIS (2004), Martin-David published his first book in 2021 with Leméac, Clark or The Bear’s Skin, a narrative that calls for the rejection of stereotypes. The stage adaptation of the book was presented at the Jamais Lu Montréal festival in 2025.
