Steve Martin is an American actor, comedian, musician, author, playwright, and producer. Martin came to public notice as a writer for the "Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour", and later became a frequent guest on "The Tonight Show". In the 1970s, Martin performed his offbeat, absurdist comedy routines before packed houses on national tours and eventually on "Saturday Night Live". In 2004, Comedy Central ranked Martin at sixth place in a list of the 100 greatest stand-up comics. Since the 1980s, having branched away from stand-up comedy, Martin has become a successful actor in both comedic and dramatic roles, as well as an author, playwright, pianist, and banjo player, eventually earning Emmy, Grammy, and American Comedy awards, among other honors. He co-hosted the 82nd Academy Awards with Alec Baldwin.
