The upcoming Netflix documentary Who Is Martin Mull? is bringing renewed attention to the extraordinary career of Martin Mull—an artist whose creative life was never confined to a single medium.
Premiering October 7, 2026, the documentary explores Mull’s work as a comedian, musician, actor and accomplished painter, with appearances from friends and fellow artists including Steve Martin, Tom Waits and David Alan Grier.
For photographer Ed Gallucci, the documentary offers an opportunity to revisit another side of Mull’s story through photographs.
Gallucci photographed Martin Mull during his own decades-long career documenting musicians, actors, artists and other influential figures in American culture. His portraits of Mull preserve a moment in the life of a man audiences may recognize from television and comedy, but whose creative identity extended far beyond the screen.
As a new generation discovers Martin Mull through Who Is Martin Mull?, Gallucci’s photographs provide their own contribution to that history—a photographer’s record of an artist whose curiosity, humor and creativity crossed disciplines throughout his life.
