Martin Dons 'Pink Panther' Role Fri Nov 14, 2:17 PM ET LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Steve Martin has agreed to step into the role of Inspector Jacques Clouseau for MGM's new "Pink Panther" movie. Chris McGurk, vice-chairman and chief operating officer at MGM, confirmed Martin's decision Thursday night at an open house hosted by the studio. The original "Pink Panther" starred Peter Sellers as the bumbling French detective on the trail of a slippery jewel thief. Sellers kept the franchise going in four subsequent features, while Roger Moore and Alan Arkin also took turns in Clouseau's trench coat. Ivan Reitman and his Montecito Picture Co. are producing the remake with Reitman attached to direct. Martin next stars in 20th Century Fox's "Cheaper by the Dozen" in December.
