Bill Murray

Bill Murray (born William James Murray on September 21, 1950) is a highly acclaimed and beloved American actor, comedian, and writer. Rising to fame through his appearances on Saturday Night Live (1977-1980), Murray transitioned to a successful film career, becoming a cultural icon known for his deadpan delivery and unique comedic timing. He established his stardom through a string of successful comedy films in the 1980s and 1990s, including Meatballs (1979), Caddyshack (1980), Stripes (1981), Ghostbusters (1984), Scrooged (1988), What About Bob? (1991), and Groundhog Day (1993). Later in his career, Murray garnered critical acclaim for his more nuanced performances, notably in Sofia Coppola's Lost in Translation (2003), for which he won a Golden Globe and a BAFTA Award for Best Actor and received an Academy Award nomination. He has also frequently collaborated with director Wes Anderson, appearing in films like Rushmore (1998), The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004), and The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014). His role in the HBO miniseries Olive Kitteridge (2014) earned him a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie. Known for his off-screen eccentricities and unpredictable behavior, Murray has cultivated a legendary status in Hollywood. Despite his aversion to traditional representation (famously only accepting roles through a private, unlisted phone number), he continues to work on a variety of projects, showcasing his versatility in both comedic and dramatic roles. In 2024, he appeared in The Friend, further adding to his extensive and celebrated filmograph y.
