The Netflix documentary "Who Is Martin Mull?" is now available, honoring the diverse career of comedian, actor, and painter Martin Mull. Production for the film began in 2018, initiated by comedian Bob Saget, who aimed to create a tribute to Mull, a performer he deeply admired since seeing him at age 17.
Tragically, both Saget and Mull passed away before the documentary's release. Saget died in 2022, and the film was subsequently completed by director Neil Berkeley, incorporating Saget's original footage. Mull died in 2024, years after filming commenced. The documentary includes poignant reflections from Mull on Saget's passing and mortality.
"Who Is Martin Mull?" features interviews with Mull and archival footage, alongside testimonials from notable figures such as Steve Martin, who first met Mull in the late 1960s. The film explores Mull's significant impact on comedy, painting, and television, including his role in the 1977 faux talk show "Fernwood 2 Night."
