Biographie
Martin Short, a comedic chameleon and a master of hilarious impressions, has won fans and accolades in television, film and theater since his breakout season on Saturday Night Live over two decades ago.
Short won his first Emmy in 1982 while working on Canada’s SCTV Comedy Network, which brought him to the attention of the producers of Saturday Night Live. He became a fan-favorite for his portrayal of characters such as Ed Grimley, lawyer Nathan Thurm and “legendary songwriter” Irving Cohen.
His popularity and exposure on Saturday Night Live led Short to cross over quickly into feature films. He made his debut in Three Amigos and followed with Inner Space and Tim Burton’s Mars Attacks. One of Short’s most memorable roles was in the remake of Father of the Bride, as Franck the wedding planner, a role he reprised a few years later in Father of the Bride II. Later this year, Short will be featured in the animated Dorothy of Oz as the voice of the Jester.
Short is also an accomplished stage actor, winning a Tony and an Outer Critics Circle Award for his role in the revival of Little Me. He was also nominated for a Tony and took home an Outer Critics Circle Award for the musical version of Neil Simon’s The Goodbye Girl. Short co-wrote and starred in Fame Becomes Me, prompting the New York Times to describe Short as “a natural for live musicals, a limber singer and dancer who exudes a fiery energy that makes you want to reach for your sunglasses.”
Short returned to television in an Emmy-nominated role for the mini-series Merlin and host of The Martin Short Show, which garnered him seven Emmy nominations. Short has also written, produced and starred in three comedy specials, winning two Cable Ace awards and an Emmy. In 2001 Short launched the critically acclaimed Primetime Glick garnering another 5 time Emmy nominations.
In 2010, Martin joined the critically acclaimed FX series Damages as the lawyer Leonard Winstone and for his work, was nominated for his nineteenth Emmy award.
Martin also lends his voice as the Cat in the critically acclaimed PBS series “Cat In The Hat Knows A Lot About That”
Short’s incredible career has been recognized by the public and critics alike, and by his Canadian homeland. In 1994, Short was awarded the “Order of Canada” (The Canadian equivalent to British Knighthood) for his contribution to Canadian culture and was inducted into the Canadian Walk of Fame in June 2000.
