I can't think of a bad role that Martin Short has done. He always brings joy and laughter where ever he goes. I'm watching "Only Murders in the Building" and the cast Gomez, Martin and Short work so well, that the only thing I hate is waiting a week for the next episode. Thankfully they make the wait worth it.

Mine is in 2012 when Martin Short went along with Kathie Lee Gifford's questions about his wife, who passed away in 2010. Martin Short didn't call Kathy Lee out on the gaffe at all. Total top draw A1 class act. He made me very proud to be a fellow Canadian that day

I love Martin Short, he's not just a funny guy, but he's so good at what he does, like MsMojo mentioned he's able to do more than a comedic role and stand out in it. I have too many favorite movies with him in it, but one that was not mentioned is Pure Luck, that one had me cracking up and not just the part where his character got severely stung and balloons up. He, Robin Williams, Steve Martin, John Ritter, Chevy Chase and a few others will always remain my favorite comedians, actors and in general people....they all seem very down to earth and genuine and I love people like that.

The lawyer was based on a make-up artist that worked on SNL. She was very very defensive and Martin picked up on that when fashioning the character. It was always a tightrope act trying to keep her from figuring out that it was largely based on her. I think she was clued in the last episode of the season, IIRC.

My most favourite Martin Short appearances in movies were The Three Amigos and then Three Fugitives. I watched it as a kid, and i think i had the best childhood thanks to Martin Short. And yes, he's my favourite actor. When I see some of his pics on the internet, Martin Short is always smiling, but you can tell that he's not faking it, that's always his real smile. He always gives his true himself in those movies and into the voicing. And that makes the film always so good. When I see him in some movies he has played (as a main character or not), he always makes my day.

Aspiring actors: If you want a master class, watch the scene in OMITB season one where Short's character speaks with his son. That performance is PHENOMENAL. You can see an entire backlog of history between the two characters, with hardly anything being explained in words. Just amazing. I love Ed Grimley (such a sweet person) and Jiminy Glick can always make me laugh, but Short's dramatic work is exceptional.
