Since then, he's proven his talent as a comedian, dramatic actor, film writer-director, playwright, author and musician. He's won Grammys for both comedy and music. Martin rose to prominence with guest appearances on NBC's Saturday Night Live and performances on The Tonight Show. "The Crow" is his first all-music CD.
