More Information
Did You Know..
Eddie Murphy
(Actor)
.. Axel Foley
Born:
April 03, 1961
in
New York
Best Known For:
Beverly Hills Cop.
Early-life:
Born Edward Regan Murphy on April 3, 1961, in Brooklyn, New York. His parents divorced when he was three, and his father, a police officer and amateur comedian, died five years later. His mother remarried, and the family moved to Long Island. Eddie took an early interest in comedy, idolising Richard Pryor. By the age of 15 he was performing professionally, but his education suffered and he had to repeat a year. He later enrolled in college and worked in a shoe shop while continuing his comedy career.
Career:
In 1980, Murphy became a regular on comedy show Saturday Night Live, and was a huge hit with viewers. At 21, he received his first major film role in box-office smash 48 Hours, followed by the equally successful Trading Places, Beverly Hills Cop and its sequels, and Coming to America. However, his 1989 directorial debut, Harlem Nights, was a flop. His popularity received a big boost thanks to The Nutty Professor in 1996. Murphy has since appeared in that film's sequel, two Dr Dolittle movies, Bowfinger, The Haunted Mansion, Dreamgirls and lent his voice to Donkey in four Shrek films - becoming an unlikely family-friendly star along the way. He's also appeared in several flops, including The Adventures of Pluto Nash and Norbit.

'The advice I would give to someone is to not take anyone's advice.'
