Edward Regan Murphy (born April 3, 1961) is an American actor, comedian, and singer.
Murphy was a regular cast member on Saturday Night Live from 1980 to 1984. He has worked as a stand-up comedian and was ranked No. 10 on Comedy Central's list of the 100 Greatest Stand-ups of All Time.
In films, Murphy has received Golden Globe Award nominations for his performances in 48 Hrs., the Beverly Hills Cop series, Trading Places, The Nutty Professor, and Dolemite Is My Name. In 2007, he won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor and received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of soul singer James "Thunder" Early in Dreamgirls.
A new documentary that captures comedian Richard Lewis holding court at Greenblatt’s Delicatessen in Hollywood is set for release on Saturday, June 29.
Filmmaker/Documentarian Gregg Barson conducted the Lewis interview for his 2011 documentary, Method to the Madness of Jerry Lewis.
Barson remembered it being one of the most hysterical interviews he ever conducted, and that’s saying plenty, because he was fortunate enough to sit down with such legendary comedians for his documentary — Richard Belzer, Chevy Chase, Billy Crystal, Eddie Murphy, Carl Reiner, Jerry Seinfeld, and Jerry Lewis himself. “I didn’t want it to end because I was treated to a one-man, private sit-down comedy extravaganza,” Barson said, recalling the Lewis moment.
When Barson revisited the material in its entirety, he had over an hour of unseen interview footage that highlights Lewis’s frenetic improvisational style of stand-up.
