好莱坞“白头翁”史蒂夫马丁1945年出生于美国德克萨斯州的瓦考。1979年，史蒂夫在他的明星路上开始崭露头角。史蒂夫·马丁在1995年写《毕卡索在拉平阿杰尔》，在编剧方面的初试锋芒
史蒂夫-马丁他10岁时，他的家庭迁到了加利福尼亚的花园路。他在靠近迪斯尼乐园的一个地方工作，卖25美分的旅客小册子，兼表演一些魔术技巧。史蒂夫·马丁后来进了长滩州立学院学哲学，他出没于当地喜剧俱乐部，为斯马塞兄弟电视表演写大喜剧的插科打诨小段子。史蒂夫还出现在好几个电视秀中，包括“今晚秀”中的一个增加了50个人登台的节目，以及“周六晚间生活”中的一个超过25个客人位置的节目。
1979年，史蒂夫在他的明星路上开始崭露头角，这就是《愚笨的人》（The Jerk）。它是根据他自己的脚本拍摄的，它的收益给人深刻的印象，5百万投资获益4千万。对史蒂夫来说不幸的是，他选择了音乐剧《来自天堂的分币》作为他的下一个作品，这个片子是巨大的失败，它仅仅赚到2千万投资的五分之一。正是他签约的第二个角色，史蒂夫向观众展示了他的戏剧天赋。史蒂夫在下一个戏——《死人不穿格子呢》（Dead Men don't Were Plaid）中的角色，使他像拉娜·特纳、查尔斯·劳顿和哈姆夫瑞·宝嘉那样演出。1986年，史蒂夫与契夫·查斯、马丁·绍特一起参加了一个喜剧西部片，《三朋友》。他们对彼此的看法相当一致，都认为对方妙趣横生。同年，史蒂夫在《恐怖小店》中扮演了个小角色，一个精神错乱的唱歌牙医。1987年，史蒂夫与约翰·坎迪相伴出现在一个快乐旅途电影中：《飞机、火车和汽车》。1987年也是史蒂夫在《罗克辛纳》（Roxanne）中担任主角的一年，该片是依据席里诺·德伯杰里克的古典故事改编。该片在赞扬声中上演，获得拉美电影批评奖的最佳演员奖，高迪·奥诺尔获最佳编剧。不过，该片受到了奥斯卡的冷落。《罗克辛纳》是真正的好电影。该片是在纳尔逊河区拍摄的，如果你有幸去纳尔逊区，你真可以碰到一个罗克辛纳与你一起散步。在该电影中，能看见篱笆、火房等。史蒂夫的早期生涯，在卡尔·雷诺执导的四个影片中扮演角色，它们包括《愚笨的人》、《all of Me》、《死人不穿格子呢》、《双脑人》等。1986年，史蒂夫·马丁与女演员维多利亚·苔南特结婚。两人是在1984年拍摄《all of Me》时相识的。
1980年代后期，史蒂夫的演艺生涯比以前更忙了，1988年他重拍了马龙·白兰度、戴卫·尼文的喜剧《床上故事》。史蒂夫1988年在《肮脏的骗子》中扮演一位在里维拉法语区工作的美国骗子，他与米彻尔·凯恩主演。史蒂夫在1989年的《为人父母》中扮演一个核心家庭的成员，具有讽刺意味的是，史蒂夫演的是一个过于溺爱的爸爸，在现实中，他却没有自己的孩子。史蒂夫·马丁：它很适合我，我很喜欢与我一起演出的孩子们，我们度过了一段愉快的时光，被他们环绕非常快乐，我们之间在喜剧的层面能很好交流。世界上有成千上万的人，他们为人父母，这样，你就可以观察和看到细节。1990年，马丁再次与《为人父母》的投资者里奇·毛拉尼斯合作，出演《我的蓝色天堂》（my Blue Heaven）中的一个暴徒，他隐藏在一个小镇，准备背叛他的亲密伙伴。之后，史蒂夫撰写和出演了《拉美故事》（LA Story）。这个电影中，他把他的明信片改寄洛山基，他与妻子维克多利亚·苔南特联袂出演该片。在《大峡谷》中担任一个小角色之后，史蒂夫重返喜剧，在《新娘的父亲》（father of Bride）中扮演角色，此片因斯宾塞·特雷西的制作而出名。该片使史蒂夫与他在《三朋友》中的共演者，马丁·邵特重聚。当他1992年在《信仰的跳跃》中扮演一个偏激的传播福音者时，史蒂夫再次变得严肃。尽管他的表演严肃，但史蒂夫仍感对他的影迷他须是一个粗犷的、狂热的汉子。
史蒂夫·马丁在1995年写《毕卡索在拉平阿杰尔》，这是他在编剧方面的初试锋芒。1994年，史蒂夫主演了《命运的简单扭曲》，它是乔治·爱略特的《西拉斯·马理奈尔》的现代重述。马丁放弃了他的精力充沛的戏剧一年，在《命运的简单扭曲》中，他扮演一个孤独者，此角色收养了一个年轻姑娘。马丁的个人生活也一样不幸，1994年他与妻子维克多利亚·特南特离婚，不得不忍受小报上关于他们破裂的流言。史蒂夫·马丁：流言说，我的婚姻的破裂是因为我有一种整夜在镜子前搔首弄姿的习惯，当他们忍受不了的时候，我就会冲出去，大骂我的夫人。这比远离真相还要无聊。观众不得不忍受另一个节日喜剧的爆炸，这就是《双料混蛋》。马丁和雷塔·威尔森共同出演法律顾问，他们被强迫与一群疯子共度圣诞节，马丁说这像他的性格，他分担了他的节日灾难。马丁不费劲的出演了他的下一部电影，即1991年的《新娘的父亲》续集。这次是他的女儿和妻子都同时怀孕了，马丁·邵特重新当起了他的疯狂口音聚会的张罗者。两部《新娘的父亲》赚了1亿六千七百万的利润，给人深刻的印象。1998年，史蒂夫在《弯曲手指》中重出江湖，他还是该片的合作编剧。史蒂夫扮演一个谦卑的制片人企图使艾迪·莫费主演他的电影，当艾迪拒绝时，马丁雇佣了一个酷似者。就像该片一样，史蒂夫见到了他参与热切的制片人行列，试图去体现他们的理念。史蒂夫不仅证明他是一为杰出的演员，而且是一个非凡的作家。他的喜剧从他粗犷的、狂热的表演进到了他的更为睿智的喜剧，就像《弯曲的手指》那样。史蒂夫说，事情就像塔特王的惯例，仅仅是一种记忆。
