Steve Martin is getting America's highest honor.

Steve Martin will be take home the 43rd AFI Life Achievement Award.  The highest honor for a career in film will be presented to Martin at a gala tribute in Los Angeles, CA on June 4, 2015.

Martin's already won an Emmy, four Grammys, a Kennedy Center Honor and an Honorary Oscar.

"Steve Martin is an American original," said Sir Howard Stringer, Chair of the American Film Institute's Board of Trustees.  "From a wild and crazy stand-up comic to one who stands tall among the great figures in this American art form, he is a multi-layered creative force bound by neither convention nor caution. His work is defined by him alone, for he is the author - and a national treasure whose work has stuck with us like an arrow in the head.  AFI is proud to present him with its 43rd Life Achievement Award."

Martin's first film was a seven-minute short he wrote and starred in, THE ABSENT-MINDED WAITER, which was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Short Film, Live Action in 1977. In 1979, he had a breakout role as the sweet and clueless "Navin Johnson" in THE JERK (which Martin also co-wrote).  He starred with Bernadette Peters in PENNIES FROM HEAVEN (1981) - watch for a great Christopher Walken dance number and made DEAD MEN DON'T WEAR PLAID (1982), THE MAN WITH TWO BRAINS (1983), THREE AMIGOS! (1986), LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS (1986) and DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS (1988) ALL OF ME (1984), PLANES, TRAINS AND AUTOMOBILES (1987), ROXANNE (1987) and FATHER OF THE BRIDE parts I and II (1991, 1995), PARENTHOOD (1989), GRAND CANYON (1991), L.A.
