Martin Mull Mr. Kraft on Sabrina, The Teenage Witch Martin Mull's first love has always been art. Now, as a successful actor and published author of "Painting, Drawing and Words," he has the best of both worlds. In his private life, Mull is a distinguished international artist whose work has been shown in the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. Mull's unscheduled career in acting started with art school. As a means of earning tuition he organized bands; the only problem was that he couldn't sing, so he started doing comedy routines. His success as a humorist soon led to a recording contract. Nominated several times for a Grammy, his recordings include "Martin Mull and His Fabulous Furniture in Your Living Room," "Normal," "Days of Wine and Neuroses," and "I'm Everyone I Ever Loved." His first break in television was on "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman," which he describes as the "Roseanne of the 1970s." Since then he has also done over two dozen feature films, including "Mrs. Doubtfire," "FM," "Serial," "My Bodyguard" and "Mr. Mom," to name a few. He is also well-known for his role in the series, "Fernwood 2 Nite"; as well as ABC's "Roseanne," in which he played Roseanne's gay boss, Leon. Mull won a Writer's Guild Award and an ACE Award for the cable show, "History of White People in America." Mull was a teaching fellow and has a Masters degree in art from Rhode Island School of Design, and has since stayed in touch with the medium both through painting or drawing. His book, "Painting, Drawing and Words," published by Journey Editions, is 10 years' worth of work that he has compiled. In recent years, his work has been exhibited at the Cleveland Center for Contemporary Art, as well as the Met and various galleries throughout the world. Mull was born in Chicago, Illinois, the oldest of three children, and was raised in North Ridgeville, Ohio. The creative bent runs in his family, as he has a brother in antiques and a sister who is a writer. Mull is happily married to wife Wendy, a composer and musician. Their 11-year-old daughter, Maggie, has already shown her creativity and humor by naming her two pet frogs Tonya and Nancy.
