Steve
Martin (born August 14,
1945) is an American
comedian, writer,
producer, actor,
musician, and
composer.
In
1979, Martin wrote and
starred in his first
full-length movie, The
Jerk, directed by Carl
Reiner. The movie was a
huge success, grossing
$100 million on a budget
less than a twentieth of
that amount.
Since
then, Steve Martin's
film career could best
be described as uneven.
Though he has enjoyed a
successful film career
for longer than most
other comic actors, his
movies have not been
consistently well
received by
critics.
In
2005, Steve Martin wrote
and starred in Shopgirl,
based on his own
novella. Martin played a
wealthy businessman and
longtime bachelor who
strikes up a romance
with a Saks 5th Avenue
counter girl (Claire
Danes). He also and
starred in the "Cheaper
by the Dozen" sequel
that year. Steve
Martin's latest work was
in the 2006 installment
of The Pink Panther,
starring as the bumbling
Inspector
Clouseau.
