Bill Murray: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

William "Bill" Murray is an American actor and comedian. He was born in September 21, 1950 in Wilmette, Illinois and first gained national exposure on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' after Chevy Chase left in the middle of season two and [[Lorne Michaels]] hired Murray as Chase's replacement. Though he is now considered one of the best cast member's ''SNL'' has ever had, Murray was not that well-liked by fans who were used to seeing Chevy Chase. When Chevy Chase came back to host on the show's third season, he and Murray got into a vicious fight backstage. When Chase came back to host during the show's fifth season, the two did a monologue together showing that all was forgiven. Among his most popular characters on the show was singing [[Lounge Lizard]] Nick Winters with his most famous sketch the one where he sings the ''[[Star Wars]]'' theme with added lyrics: ''Star Wars...nothing but Star Wars...''

Murray went on to star in a number of critically and commercially successful comedic films including ''[[Stripes]]'', ''[[Tootsie]]'', ''[[Caddyshack]]'', ''[[Ghostbusters]]'', and ''[[~~Groundhog Day (Film)|~~Groundhog Day]]''.
