Actor: Demetri Martin

Although mostly a writer (writing his own new show, Important Things With Demetri Martin, and writing Late Night With Conan O'Brien from 2003 to 2004), Demetri Martin performs stand-up routines and is featured to star in the movie Taking Woodstock (August 14, 2009), the trailer of which premiered during the seventh episode of his new show (March 25, 2009).


So really, we don't know much about his acting ability. He has appeared in the movie The Rocker, but with a minor role, and has only appeared on television apart from then. But judging from his wildly funny new show, we can tell that the movie has the potential to be great.

Martin is also slated to have a somewhat minor role in the movie The Post Grad Survival Guide (also set to be released August 14, 2009), so this shows that movie producers must think he has acting ability - or at least fans.

Here's hoping that Martin can succeed just like his hit new show. I suggest you check it out every Wednesday (look for a post about this in the future...) I've included a particularly humorous clip from his show for your convenience.
