Bill Murray

Bill Murray has had one of the most unique careers in entertainment history. Starting with Second City & National Lampoon, Bill Murray became a tremendous sensation when he joined the early cast of Saturday Night Live. His deadpan, snarky, insincere comedy persona made him a standout, even in the days of Jim Belushi, Chevy Chase, and Dan Aykroyd.

After staying with SNL for only three seasons, he made an immediate smash on the big screen. Bill Murray appeared in one of the highest-grossing comedy movies of all time, Ghostbusters, and such comic classics as Stripes and Caddyshack.

But over time, this comic icon shifted his interest shift as he began to do more dramatic films and perform more supporting parts that allowed him to create unforgettable secondary characters. Performing for great directors such as George Clooney, Sophia Coppola, and Wes Anderson, Murray carved out her unique niche in which he is often considered one of the country’s most versatile supporting actors.

We will examine his remarkable career, but we will also talk about Bill Murray’s strange, idiosyncratic personality and the frequently reported instances of inappropriate behavior, which have clouded his reputation and stalled his career as he reached his 70s.

This multimedia presentation has a little bit of everything. Lots of laughs, glimpses of outstanding dramatic acting, and many head-scratching or offputting moments where we wonder why the world’s most famous Chicago Cubs super fan has chosen to engage in feuds with his costars.
