Early Steve Martin

Those of you young'uns out there may not realize that the old guy from Cheaper by the Dozen was actually a pretty brilliant comedian in his day. And even those more familiar with Steve Martin's hilarious body of work (e.g. Saturday Night Live; The Jerk; Three Amigos; Planes, Trains & Automobiles) may not know too much about his early days as a magician, stand-up comedian, and a writer for shows like The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour. For an interesting look at the young Steve Martin, check out his memoir, Born Standing Up.

Or, just watch him act like an idiot for the Smothers Brothers...



Yes, he actually had brown hair once.
