Eddie Murphy

As with many comedians, Saturday Night Live saw Eddie Murphy rise to fame. He was a cast member only for four years, but it was enough to hone his skills, and soon after, he received Golden Globe nominations for his movies. Among his most notable works are The Nutty Professor, Trading Places, and Dr. Doolittle. He has also worked as a voice actor, with his voice featured in Mulan.

In the past years, Murphy has suffered a decline in his career. Still, recently, there has been a resurgence in returning to adult-oriented films like Coming to America and the sequel, Coming 2 America, released in March 2021. Most of the other actors from the original film also joined him in that sequel. When not doing TV or movie work, Murphy keeps himself busy with singing and philanthropic work. He has been given for helping the Screen Actors’ Guild and the Martin Luther King, Jr. Center.
