Although Steve Martin may stop performing, he has had a long and varied career.
After the popular Hulu series Only Murders in the Building ends, veteran actor Steve Martin told The Hollywood Reporter he intends to dial back on performing. However, he stopped short of announcing he would retire.
He declared that I wouldn’t be looking for others after this television program is over. “I won’t look for other movies. I reject doing cameos. Strangely, this is it.
Martin has been a multi-talented artist for six decades, and he is one Tony Award away from becoming an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony) winner.
Here is a peek at some of Martin’s various talents in case he decides to leave his illustrious career in entertainment.
Martin began his career in humor as a writer for The Smothers Brothers Humor Hour in the 1960s, for which he received an Emmy nomination in 1969. In the 1970s, he started hosting Saturday Night Live, which he has done 15 times. He furthered his fame by doing sold-out performances of his unconventional stand-up routines, which frequently included music and props.
In the 1980s, he stopped performing stand-up comedy and turned to acting. In 2005, he was awarded the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.
In 2016, he resumed his art by performing as Jerry Seinfeld’s opening act. Together with Martin Short, his co-star from Only Murders in the Building, he embarked on a cross-country tour in the same year, and in 2018, they launched the Netflix special An Evening You Will Forget for the Rest of Your Life.
Martin has acted in numerous films, including the Father of the Bride and Cheaper by the Dozen franchises, Three Amigos (1986), Planes, Trains, and Automobiles (1987), Bowfinger (1999), and Three Amigos.
He never had an Oscar nomination, but in 2013 he was honored.
Bright Star, a Broadway musical set in the 1940s and set in the North Carolina Blue Ridge Mountains, was co-written and composed by Martin in 2016. For the play, he was nominated for five Tony Awards.
Since 2021, Martin has co-created and starred in Only Murders in the Building as an amateur podcaster. Martin is now nominated for three Emmy Awards out of the seven total nominations for the show.
Martin, a Texas native reared in California, picked up the banjo as a youngster and used it frequently in his stand-up performances in the 1970s. In 2002, he received a Grammy for his rendition of Earl Scruggs’s “Foggy Mountain Breakdown.”
The Crow: New Songs for the 5-String Banjo, his first music-only CD, was published in 2009; it earned him the Grammy for Best Bluegrass CD in 2010.
For his contributions to the bluegrass genre, Martin went on to earn three further Grammys.
