If you were to compile a list of unrecognised geniuses in Hollywood, Martin Short would have to place near the top. The guy is funny. Serious, hardcore funny. Yet he’s never really had the chance to break out and show the world the extent of his talents. He did a lot of medium-level Hollywood pictures in the ‘80s and ‘90s then seemed to find a place in television for the past few decades.
Which is too bad. If you want proof that the universe isn’t fair, look at the number of films the wooden, awkward, uninteresting Chevy Chase got to star in versus Martin Short.
