Martin W. Huston, also known as Marty Huston (February 8, 1941–August 1, 2001), was an American actor of primarily television and stage.
Huston's longest-running role was as the teenager Skipper Bradley on the syndicated television series Jungle Jim. He played the son of the Johnny Weissmuller lead character, Jim "Jungle Jim" Bradley, a guide, hunter, and explorer of Africa, Asia, and South America. The series also featured Dean Fredericks as Kaseem, Bradley's Hindu manservant; Paul Cavanagh as Commissioner Morrison, and a chimpanzee called Tamba, who was particularly friendly on and off the set with young Huston.
Huston was born in Lexington in Fayette County, Kentucky. His mother, Marcella Martin Huston (October 4, 1918–July 25, 2002), later appeared in 1975 in the NBC soap opera, Somerset, a spin-off of Another World. Young Huston made his acting debut with his sister, then Gaye Huston, along with June Lockhart, in the 1951 episode, "The Doctor's Wife" of Lux Video Theatre, then aired on CBS. On July 7, 1952, he guest starred in "21-Plus" of NBC's Hallmark Hall of Fame. The next year he appeared as a boy named Lester in a segment of Wally Cox's NBC situation comedy, Mister Peepers.
