Maybe Steve Martin is all set to put his banjo away.
The Emmy and Grammy-winning performer said in a recent interview that after “Only Murders in the Building,” the Hulu real-crime parody he co-created, he would “work a bit less. “.
Once this television program is over, I won’t look for anyone else. I won’t look for any other movies. I won’t do cameos, you understand. Strangely enough, this is it,” Martin told The Hollywood Reporter.
He admitted to the magazine, “I have no interest in retiring. “I’m not. I would, however, take a little more time off from work.
Maybe.
“.
In order to spend more time with his wife, author Anne Stringfield, and their 9-year-old daughter, Martin asserted that he needed to cut back on his professional commitments.
He said, “I have a great family life. I won’t be moving to a new area to live or make a movie anymore. I’m not supposed to vanish for three months. “.
One of the great Renaissance figures of contemporary entertainment is Martin. He is an actor, comedian, author, and playwright, and he has made 15 appearances on “Saturday Night Live.”.
He has won five Grammys, is a skilled banjo player, and still performs all over the country.
The number of Hollywood movies in which he has appeared has started to decline in recent years. The actor’s most recent full-length acting role was in Ang Lee’s “Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk” from 2016.
The upcoming documentary by Oscar-winning director Morgan Neville, who previously produced Apple TV+ specials about Fred Rogers and celebrity chef Anthony Bourdain, will center on Martin’s 60-year career. The project will be co-produced by A24, an indie powerhouse.
For “Only Murders in the Building,” Martin was nominated for three Emmys this year, including best comedy series, best comedy series writing, and best lead actor in a comedy series. Second season of the program is coming to an end.
He portrays a lonesome Manhattanite in “Only Murders” who teams up with an odd theatrical director (Martin Short) and a snarky millennial (Selena Gomez) to record a podcast about a series of murders that took place in their opulent apartment building.
The prolific and well-liked singer adopted a modest demeanor in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, saying, “There’s a point in your career when people are longing to see you.”. More than ever, I must be present in my personal life. “.
