Martineau has also appeared in a few movies as a news anchor, including Undue Influence, Dirty Work, and Urban Legend.

Noted for outstanding charity work, Gord Martineau has been associated with the Kidney Foundation, the Kid's Helpline, the Fred Victor Centre, the Breast Cancer Foundation, Mount Sinai Hospital, the Ireland Fund and most notably, the Herbie Fund where he has personally escorted children in need of life-saving surgery from countries as far away as the Philippines to superlative care at the Hospital for Sick Children.
