Steve Martin is one of my favorite actors. He is an impressively intelligent man yet is famous for stupid slapstick. Someone once said, Steve Martin does stupid humor for smart people, and I think that's right.

The Jerk is simply an all-time classic. Roxanne is also fantastic. And Bowfinger is ultra-clever.

In recent years he's done some formulaic family comedies, but he's done them well.

One of the best American comedians of all-time.

Steve Martin is one of the top comedic actors of our lifetime. While I'm actually not a big fan of his, I do appreciate just how many great films he's done and how funny he is. His brand of comedy is a little off-beat, which may be why I'm not a big fan. I love watching old episodes of "Saturday Night Live" with him in it.

I think Steve Martin is an awesome actor especially for someone of his age. I mean the man is 67 people! 67! What more could ya want from a 67 year old? Anways he really plays parts well like in Pink Panther did you really know it was him? Accourse you didn't because he played Inspector Clouseau so well! I mean that man can seriously act! Also in Father of the Bride he played that role perfectly on how a father in his position would act. I think i started like ing him as an actor when i saw him for the first time in Cheaper By the Dozen. My favorite part was when he gets launched off that jump house or whatever,its about to blow up,people are running,he's in the air in slow-motion,the rich kid is right below him(looking around),then he looks up(screams),steve martin is falling right above him(still in slow-motion),then splat! (Next scene)the rich kid says that was the best birthday party ever!

Steve Martin is more of a comedy actor, though I must admit that in some of his drama or action roles that have not been very much, he acts really well. He is very funny, though his style is much more in serious depending on his roles, but whenever he is asked to play a funny, kind of stupid character he knows how to do it. He is great!
