Charles Martin Smith (born October 30, 1953) is an American film actor, writer and director. He was born in Van Nuys, California. His father, Frank Smith, was a film cartoonist and animator.

Smith spent three years of his youth in Paris, France where his father managed the English-language branch of a French animation studio.

Education

He received his high school diploma from Grover Cleveland High School, Reseda, California. He attended California State University, Northridge and was awarded a B.A. in Theatre.

Acting background

Smith was discovered by a talent agent while acting in a school play, Man of La Mancha. After a few years of working in film and television, he landed the role of Terry "The Toad" Fields in the George Lucas' 1973 film American Graffiti. He earned a starring role in Cotton Candy (1978), directed by Ron Howard. Smith gained notice as one of Buddy Holly's bandmates in The Buddy Holly Story (1978), and as a scientist in Never Cry Wolf (1983). His work in Starman (1984) was also lauded.

The rest of Smith's acting career has chiefly involved supporting roles. He received good reviews for his work in The Untouchables (1987). After this he co-starred in The Hot Spot (1990) and Deep Cover (1992), and in the mid-1990s in less successful films such as Speechless (1994) and I Love Trouble.

Smith played a major role in the controversial HBO film And the Band Played On (1994), then turned in a well-regarded performance in the TV miniseries Larry McMurtry's Streets of Laredo (1995).

He also appeared in The Beast in (1996) and in a minor role in the big budget Deep Impact in 1998.

More recently he has appeared in mini-series such as "P.T. Barnum" (1999), "Kingdom Hospital" (2004) and "The Triangle" (2005) as well as the upcoming feature film "Lucky You" (2007) directed by Curtis Hanson.

Never Cry Wolf film

Smith devoted almost three years to Never Cry Wolf. Smith said, "I was much more closely involved in that picture than I had been in any other film. Not only acting, but writing and the whole creative process." He also found the process difficult. "During much of the two-year shooting schedule in Canada’s Yukon and in Nome, Alaska, I was the only actor present. It was the loneliest film I’ve ever worked on," Smith said.

Carroll Ballard, director of Never Cry Wolf, asked Smith to write much of the narration for the film.

Directing

Along with his acting career, since the mid-1990s Smith has increasingly focused on his work behind the camera. His first film as director was the camp horror film "Trick or Treat" (1986) for Dino De Laurentiis.

He was one of the directors of the TV series Space: Above and Beyond (1995) as well as the director of the initial episode ("Welcome to the Hellmouth") that launched the hit TV series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" (1997).

He next directed the hugely successful feature film "Air Bud" (Disney, 1997), and two TV miniseries for Hallmark Entertainment, "Roughing It" (2001) and "Icon" (2005).

He also he wrote and directed the Canadian feature film The Snow Walker (2003) for Lions Gate Films, based on a story by Farley Mowat (of Never Cry Wolf fame) which marked a return to the Arctic for Smith and garnered nine Genie Award nominations (the Canadian Academy Award) including Best Picture and Best Director for Smith.

He has lived in Vancouver, Canada since the 1980s and continues to add to production, directing, acting and writing credits in a career that has spanned over thirty-five years.
