Steve Martin wants to be a movie action man.

The Cheaper by the Dozen star says he would have loved to square up with Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger for big screen thrills.

He reveals, “I’ve always dreamed of doing an action movie.

“I’m very proud of the movies I’ve done and I have done some action scenes but I would have loved to have gone all out with all guns blazing like those guys, just once.”

Martin, 63, recently revealed that he was using humor to help deal with the current economic downturn.

He said, “I’m sorry for the stressful climate, but I think it helps to be funny.

“I’m working out some new material, and I’ve written five jokes about bad times.

“We’ve got to find a way to have a laugh at the things that are getting us down.

“This is the best time of my life.”
