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.

In 2005, he was cast as Dave Gold in sitcom The War at Home, which ran for two seasons. His recent work includes Live Free or Die, My Name Is Earl, Prison Break, A Day in the Life, and Accidentally on Purpose.
