Martinez won Dancing mirrorball 2011
LOS ANGELES (AP) — Actor J. R. Martinez is taking home the mirrorball trophy.
The Iraq war veteran was named “Dancing With the Stars” champion Tuesday, beating Rob Kardashian during the season-ending episode of the ABC hit.
Martinez hoisted the trophy with his professional partner, Karina Smirnoff.
The all-male finale was set up halfway through the final show when talk show host Ricki Lake was voted off, finishing third. Judges’ scores combined with viewer votes determined the winner.
