Steve Martin, who has worked in the industry for more than 60 years, claims that it's just a matter of time before he retires. Martin made his "Only Murders in the Building" debut as a young TV star Charles-Haden Savage in 2021, starring Selena Gomez and longtime friend Martin Short. Martin, who turns 77 on August 14, spent decades on TV, focusing on fictional true-crime podcasts and investigating murders on film, before he hosted a fictional true-crime podcast and examining murders on screen. Martin, however, admits that his "OMITB" role will be his last in a Hollywood Reporter interview published on August 10. "We were so excited just doing the live show," Martin says.
