Martin Mull, the comic actor who starred in Mary Hartman, dies at 80

 


Martin Mull, the comedic actor, musician and entertainer who gained attention in the 1970s on shows such as Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman and Fernwood 2-Night, and who remained active in television and film during of the next half century, died Thursday at his home in Los Angeles. He was 80 years old.

His wife, Wendy Mull, confirmed his death. He died after a long illness, his family said. No cause was given.

In Mary Hartman, Mr. Mull played Garth Gimble, a domestic abuser who met his end by being impaled on the star atop an aluminum Christmas tree.

He starred in the series' subsequent spin-off, Fernwood 2-Night, a talk show parody that aired in 1977. He played talk show host Barth Gimble, the twin brother of Garth Gimble.

With his dull blond mustache, which is perhaps not a joke, Barth is manically coping with a precarious job situation and unclear allegations regarding pending charges against him in Florida, the New York Times wrote in a review of the show's first week in 1977. Barth would say only that his lawyer thinks he has a hell of a case for entrapment.

He was also known for his roles in Clue (1985) and the television shows Roseanne and Arrested Development. He also played the character Bob Bradley, an assistant to the main character of the political sitcom Veep.

More recently, Mr. Mull appeared on the Fox television series Cool kids, about a group of friends who break the rules and live in a retirement community.

Martin E. Mull was born on August 18, 1943, in Chicago, the son of Harold and Betty Mull. He graduated from the Rhode Island School of Design. His work has appeared in gallery exhibitions and at the Whitney and Metropolitan museums.

Besides his wife, he is survived by a daughter, Maggie Mull.

In a 2018 interview with The Times, he described his approach to his art as going back and finding old Life and Look magazines, family photos and things like that, and then making collages from those, creating my own images and painting them.

A full obituary will follow.
