Birthplace:
Chicago, Illinois, USA
Martin Mull intended to become a painter when he enrolled in the Rhode Island School of Design, but his Scaramouche-like sense of the ridiculous led to a career as a nightclub comedian. The deceptively conservative-looking Mull is widely recognized as one of the most accomplished satirists in show business. Even before he gained TV fame, Mull's barbed comedy albums had earned him a following on the college campus circuit. His first major TV assignment was Mary Hartman Mary Hartman (1976-77), where he was seen as Garth Gimble, an ill-tempered wife beater who ended up being impaled by a Christmas tree. When Mary Hartman Mary Hartman producer Norman Lear developed the spin-off series Fernwood Tonight in 1977, Mull was brought back as glad-handing emcee Barth Gimble, Garth's twin brother. In films since 1978, Mull is often called upon to portray an underhanded or vacillating CEO (vide Mister Mom). His well-groomed mustache and tweedy appearance served him well as Colonel Mustard in the 1985 movie version of the venerable board game Clue. Back on television, Mull has etched such indelible comic characterizations as Leon Carp, Roseanne Connor's gay boss, on Roseanne (1988- ), and the leading roles of Martin Crane in Domestic Life (1984) and Dr. Doug Lambert in His & Hers (1990). In collaboration with Allan Rucker, Martin Mull was the creator/writer of a devastating series of lampoonish "cultural studies" books and TV specials, under the blanket title The History of White People in America.

Quotes from Martin Mull's Characters
Col. Mustard: | Do you like Kipling Miss Scarlet? |
Miss Scarlet: | Sure I'll eat anything. |

Mrs. White: | Mine or other women's? |
Col. Mustard: | Yours. |
Mrs. White: | Five. |
Col. Mustard: | Five? |
Mrs. White: | Yes, just the five. Husbands should be like Kleenex: soft, strong and disposable. |
Col. Mustard: | You lure men to their deaths like a spider with flies. |
Mrs. White: | Flies are where men are most vulnerable. |
Col. Mustard: | Right! |
Col. Mustard: | This is war, Peacock. Casualties are inevitable. You can not make an omelet without breaking eggs, every cook will tell you that. |
Col. Mustard: | This is war, Peacock. Casualties are inevitable. You can not make an omelet without breaking eggs, every cook will tell you that. |
Mrs. Peacock: | But look what happened to the cook! (haunk) |
Mrs. Peacock: | But look what happened to the cook! |
Col. Mustard: | "Are you trying to make me look foolish in front of the other guest?!?" |
