Steve Martin

BIOGRAPHy

Steve Martin has enjoyed a prolific career as an actor, comedian, writer and musician. Martin became a television writer in the late 1960s, winning an Emmy Award for his work on “The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour.” By the end of the decade, he was performing his own material in clubs and on television and went on to host several episodes of “Saturday Night Live.” Martin continued to use his stand-up skills as host of the 73rd and 75th Annual Academy Awards. Martin’s first foray into films earned him an Academy Award nomination for a short he wrote titled “The Absent-Minded Waiter,” in which he starred. He then went on to co-write and star in “The Jerk,” which marked the beginning of a fruitful collaboration with director Carl Reiner. They reunited to create “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid,” the science fiction comedy “The Man With Two Brains” and “All of Me” for which Martin received a Best Actor Award from the New York Film Critics Association. Another successful collaboration began with director Frank Oz in “Little Shop of Horrors.” Together they went on to make “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” and “Housesitter.” In 1987, Martin was honored with an award for Best Screenplay from the Writers Guild of America as well as a Best Actor Award from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association for “Roxanne.” Since then, he has gone on to star in many other major motion pictures including “Parenthood,” “Father of the Bride,” “Cheaper by the Dozen” and “The Pink Panther.” More recently, Martin has dedicated himself to music, touring with bluegrass bands. “Love Has Come For You,” a collaboration album with Edie Brickell, was released in April 2013. The title track won a Grammy. In 2015, Brickell and Martin released “So Familiar” as the second installment of their partnership.
