Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} [[File:PhilHartman_1938.jpg\|frame]] '''Philip Edward "Phil" Hartman''' (September 24, 1948 -- May 28, 1998) was an immensely talented Canadian-born comedian and actor famous for starring on ''[[Saturday Night Live]]'' from 1986 to 1994 <ref> considered by many to be the show's second [[Golden Age]] after fumbling around blindly in mediocrity from 1980 with Jean Doumanian's cast to 1985 with [[Lorne Michaels]]' return with a disjointed cast and bizarre writing</ref>, for his guest appearances on ''[[The Simpsons]]'' as incompetent attorney Lionel Hutz and washed-up B-movie actor Troy McClure, and for starring as Bill McNeal on the sitcom ''[[News Radio]]''. Hartman has been consistently praised as one of SNL's best performers. His celebrity impressions included [[Frank Sinatra]], Charlton Heston, [[Ronald Reagan]], Ed McMahon, [[Kirk Douglas]], Barbara Bush and [[Bill Clinton]]. His original characters included Eugene the Anal-Retentive Chef and [[The Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer]]. His ability to adapt to any performance earned him the nickname "Glue" from co-star [[Adam Sandler]]. Line 10: The outpouring of sympathy was immense. Simpsons creator Matt Groening had Hartman's characters Hutz and McClure retired from ''[[The Simpsons]]'', named ''[[Futurama]]'' protagonist Phillip J. Fry in honor of Hartman, and ''[[News Radio]]'' pressed on one more season, this time with his friend Jon Lovitz, before being cancelled, because as his castmates put it, "Phil would've wanted us to." ~~===~~ {{examples\|Selected filmography: ~~===~~}} * ''[[Pee ~~Wees~~-wee's Big Adventure]]'' (1985) * ''[[¡Three Amigos ~~(Film)~~!\|Three Amigos]]'' (1986) * ''[[The Brave Little Toaster]]'' (1987) * ''[[Coneheads]]'' (1993) * ''[[So I Married an Axe Murderer]]'' (1993) * ''[[~~Houseguest (Film)\|~~Houseguest]]'' (1995) * ''[[Sgt Bilko]]'' (1996) * ''[[Jingle All the Way]]'' (1996) Line 22: * ''[[Kiki's Delivery Service]]'' (1998) - Also dedicated to Hartman. {{creatortropes}} ~~=== Tropes applying to Phil Hartman: ===~~ * [[He Also Did]]: He designed the logo for Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young. * [[Mean Character, Nice Actor]]: He played many [[Jerkass]] characters (often for laughs), but was one of the gentlest souls around, which makes his sudden murder even more tragic.
