Martin Short Swiftly Defended By Notable Stars After Disparaging Op-Ed

Martin Short, the talented Emmy-winning actor who currently stars in Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, was defended by notable stars after the recent release of a scathing op-ed. The 73-year-old veteran actor initially made a name for himself back in the 1980s, appearing on SCTV and subsequently the tenth season of Saturday Night Live, impressing audiences with his various humorous characters like Ed Grimley, a hyperactive manchild, Irving Cohen, a character inspired by famous singer and comedian Sophie Tucker, and Nathan Thurm, a shady defense attorney. After gaining prominence doing sketch comedy, Short transitioned to Broadway and television and film roles, starring in the western comedy Three Amigos, 1999’s Mumford, legal thriller Damages and most recently the mystery comedy drama Only Murders in the Building.
