No. Steve Martin is very up front about this. He was never a comedian. He is an ACTOR. A very good one at that. He broke into show business as an actor PLAYING a comedian. Once he got established in the business he ditched that typecasting and got to doing the roles he really wanted. He now focuses on serious dad acting roles.

I never was much of a Steve Martin fan even back then. He just never had the kind of humor I really cared about. I think he is a better actor than comdedian. He does quite OK in that genre.

No, he just grew up. He became a very, very good writer (his books are great) and his movies became more intelligent. "LA Story" for example is a classic movie, as are "Father of the Bride" and "Cheaper by the Dozen". You don't have to stick an arrow through your head to be funny when you're 50.

Did you see him host the Oscars a few years ago? He was very funny. And Cheaper By The Dozen was surprisingly good ...
