Eddie Murphy's comic talent was evident from an early age, with a flair for dead-on impressions and sidesplitting stand-up routines.
His sense of humor and wit made him a stand out and got him noticed at an audition for “Saturday Night Live,” where he was eventually cast as a featured player, originating some of the shows most memorable characters, such as Mr. Robinson, Buckwheat and Gumby.
Murphy went on to make his feature film debut in “48 Hours,” but it was his role in “Beverly Hills Cop” that made him a box-office superstar and a worldwide celebrity. Now, a seasoned actor, producer, comedian, writer and director, Murphy has a long list of films to his credit including “Coming to America,” “The Nutty Professor,” “Doctor Doolittle” and the blockbuster animated “Shrek.” His role in the upcoming film “Dreamgirls” is much-anticipated.
