Martin Short
Martin ShortCanadian Martin Short was born March 26, 1950, in Hamilton, Ontario, and first gained notoriety on the SCTV Comedy Network. His talent for improvisation, dead-on impressions and gift for physical comedy won him a regular spot on "Saturday Night Live" in 1984.

Short's growing fame soon led to roles in the parody Three Amigos (1986) and Innerspace (1987); his first starring turn came in Cross My Heart (1987). He delivered one of his funniest film performances as a florid wedding planner in the 1991 remake of Father of the Bride. Short returned to television in 1994, headlining the eponymous series "The Martin Short Show."

The comic actor's later movie credits include Mars Attacks (1996), Mumford (1999) and voice work in The Prince of Egypt (1998) and Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (2001). In 2010, Short joined the cast of the cable drama "Damages" and promptly scored an Emmy nod for his supporting turn.
