TRIVIA:
- His older brother died when Martin was 12, and, by age 22, both parents were dead, as well.
- Went dramatic and appeared in a 1974 production of "Fortune and Men's Eyes" which dealt with prison rape.
- On _"Inside the Actors Studio" (1994)_ (qv), said his favorite curse word is "poo".
- Was trained to be a social worker but got bit by the acting bug after taking a part in a production of "Godspell" in Toronto, Ontario.
- Husband of Canadian comic actress 'Nancy Dolman' (qv), most notable for her recurring role on the ABC cult sitcom _"Soap" (1977)_ (qv) and _"Custard Pie" (1977)_ (qv). She also appeared in his critically acclaimed 1985 television special, _Martin Short: Concert for the North Americas (1985) (TV)_ (qv).
- Daughter Katherine Elizabeth Short currently attends New York University. She was chosen in 2003 to serve as Queen Shenandoah LXXVI for the Shenandoah Apple Blossom Festival in Winchester, Virginia. She is an aspiring actress.
- In the fall of 1980, Short joined the cast of _"I'm a Big Girl Now" (1980)_ (qv), a sitcom vehicle for 'Diana Canova' (qv) that also starred 'Danny Thomas (I)' (qv). Canova was offered the sitcom after her huge success playing Corinne Tate Flotsky on ABC's _"Soap" (1977)_ (qv). She left the cast of the latter show in order to accept the offer - shortly before Short's newlywed wife, 'Nancy Dolman' (qv), joined the cast. _"I'm a Big Girl Now" (1980)_ (qv) was an instant flop, and ratings declined for _"Soap" (1977)_ (qv), causing both shows to be canceled that season.
- Met future Second City collaborator 'Dave Thomas (I)' (qv) in college in 1970, where they began acting together. Short appeared with Thomas in a production of MacBeth with Short as Lennox and Thomas as Banquo. A legendary production of Godspell in 1972 would include Thomas, plus other Canadian funsters 'Gilda Radner' (qv), 'Eugene Levy' (qv), 'Paul Shaffer' (qv), and 'Andrea Martin (I)' (qv). His future wife 'Nancy Dolman' (qv) was Radner's understudy. Short first dated Radner and then began dating Dolman in 1974. They married in 1980.
