Martin Short’s Biography
Martin Short, is a Canadian comedian, actor, writer, singer and producer. He is best known for his comedy work, particularly on the TV programs SCTV and Saturday Night Live. Short was encouraged to pursue comedy by McMaster classmates Eugene Levy and Dave Thomas, both notable comedians in their own right. He joined Levy and Thomas at improv troupe The Second City in 1977. Short came to public notice when the troupe produced a show for television, called Second City Television or SCTV, which ran for several years in Canada and the United States. Short was a cast member and performed several recurring characters.
He was a member of the troupe for several years before moving on to Saturday Night Live for the 1984-1985 season. At SCTV, Short developed many characters which he later used at SNL: Jackie Rogers Jr. , Ed Grimley and Irving Cohen. The Grimley character became perhaps Short's best known original character. He also was recognized for his impersonations of celebrities, notably Jerry Lewis and Katharine Hepburn, and for the character of Nathan Thurm. SNL proved to be the springboard to a long career in film & TV. After doing sketch comedy for several years, Short focused on film roles, appearing in many films, including Three Amigos, Innerspace,The Big Picture, Captain Ron,'Clifford, Mars Attacks, and the 1991 remake of Father of the Bride as well as the sequel in 1995. In 2004 he wrote and starred in Jiminy Glick in Lalawood, with Jan Hooks as his wife, Dixie Glick. He also appeared as the comic foil for Santa Claus, playing "Jack Frost" in the 2006 Walt Disney film The Santa Clause 3: The Escape Clause. Short was also in Pure Luck directed by Nadia Tass with Danny Glover and Sheila Kelley, and in Three Fugitives directed by Francis Veber with Nick Nolte and James Earl Jones.
