The end of an era. While reflecting on his career, Steve Martin revealed that he doesn’t have any plans to continue acting after Only Murders in the Building comes to an end.
“When this television show is done, I’m not going to seek others. I’m not going to seek other movies. I don’t want to do cameos. This is, weirdly, it,” the actor, 76, told The Hollywood Reporter on Wednesday, August 10, about looking toward his future.
Martin, who stars in the Hulu series alongside Martin Short and Selena Gomez, noted that he has been thinking about retiring for a while.
“We were very happy just doing the live show,” he said, referring to his ongoing You Won’t Believe What They Look Like Today! tour with Short, 72. “There may be a natural end to that — somebody gets sick, somebody just wears out — but I wouldn’t do it without Marty.”
The New York native got his start as a writer for The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour in the 1960s. The stand-up comic went on to appear on The Tonight Show and Saturday Night Live, with Martin previously hosting the sketch series 15 times.
On the big screen, the Emmy Award winner won over viewers with roles in The Jerk, Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, Three Amigos, Father of the Bride, Cheaper by the Dozen and more. He has also dabbled in music by writing the lyrics to Bright Star and Meteor Shower, both of which premiered on Broadway.
In 2021, Martin co-created and starred in his first television series, Only Murders in the Building. The comedy series follows three strangers who form a bond over their love of true crime. After a mysterious death occurs in their building, Mabel (Gomez), Oliver (Short) and Charles (Martin) team up to track down the killer — while recording a podcast about their investigation.
