Steve Martin is a veteran actor that is well-known for his comedy films. He has been around for more than 30 years and has accumulated numerous awards from his films. He’s not only an actor but also a stand up comedian, a writer, producer and a musician.
Before he got into the movie industry, he was a stand up comedian. It’s pretty obvious that he is still is until now with the way he charismatically joke around the press during interviews. With his natural ability to entertain the audience, it’s always an experience full of laughter when watching Steve Martin movies.
His first appearance was in a movie Disneyland Dream, way back in 1956. The movie was about a family who won a trip to Disneyland. Steve, who played as a Disneyland worker, appeared about twenty minutes into the movie. You would see some good old shots of the Southern Carolina in this movie. Recently, the US National Filming Registry found this movie as being historically and culturally significant, and thus endorsed the movie for preservation.
Steve’s biggest hit came in 1977. He played a part of a poor waiter who can’t seem to do anything right, in a movie entitled The Absent-Minded Waiter. This was only a very short 7-minute movie, but it was nominated in the Academy Awards.
Steve Martin’s ability to portray a different character other than a comedian was tested in the 1989 in a movie entitled, Pennies from the Heaven. He had to totally switch his persona to this new, more serious plot. He even had to learn tap dancing as his role had to have some dancing scenes. To the delight of his fans, he did perform really well. On that same year, Steve Martin won the Golden Globe Awards for Best Actor, which definitely was the pinnacle of his career at that point.
Steve has been around the movie business for quite a while now. He has some extensive list of great movies that has entertained many of us.
It was just a year ago that one of his most popular movie, The Pink Panther 2, was released. He played a detective, a very clever and fashionable one, who teams up with other detectives around the world to bring in The Cat Burglar, the movies own rendition of a cat woman type of villain. This movie is definitely a great sequel to it’s predecessor that was released way back in 2006.
Another one of the later Steve Martin Movies which was just released in 2009 is It’s Complicated. If you’re asking what the movie is all about, well, it’s complicated. This romantic comedy film portrays the complicated life of a woman (Jane) who is still into his ex-husband and now plays the “other woman” role in the affair. Steve plays the guy who’s in love with Jane, and finds out her affair with her ex-husband through a webcam. I know, that’s why the movie is entitled, It’s Complicated.
Disney will be releasing another movie this 2010 and Steve is part of the cast. It’s an animated movie so the guy is expected to do a voice over to one of the characters. We must admit, he’s becoming a regulary guy at Disney.
