Eddie Murphy (English: Eddie Murphy, April 3, 1961 -), whose real name is Edward Regan Murphy (English: Edward Regan Murphy), was born in Brooklyn, New York. He is an American male comedian, singer and actor. Murphy began his career as a comedian at the age of 16. At the age of 19, shortly after graduating from Roosevelt High School, he became a cast member on NBC's Saturday Night Live. His roles include imitating Fred Rogers and the character Buckwait in the film Rugrats. Murphy left the show midway through the 1983–1984 season, appearing in film sketches for the remainder of the season. Murphy then appeared in numerous comedy films, including "Beverly Hills Cop," for which he won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Comedy. Other film appearances included "You Fuck Me, I'll Fuck You" and "Coming to America" in the following years. He is a famous voice actor who once voiced Donkey in the movie "Shrek" series and "Mushu" in the Disney movie "Mulan". Murphy has also appeared in many movie sequels, including 1987's "Thunder", 1990's "48 Hours", 1994's "Thunderbolt", 2001's "Dolittle 2" and 2000's "Dolittle 2". In many of his films, in addition to starring in leading roles, he also played many supporting roles. One example is "Beginning with You", a remake of the original Jolie Louis film. Murphy played many members of the Klopp family, as well as Sherman Klopp's confidant, Buddy Lauf. In addition, one of Murphy's signature moves is his deep, contagious, yet slightly silly smile. Murphy was voted one of the 50 greatest comedians of all time by young comedians and others in the comedy industry in a 2005 poll looking for "Comedians' Comedians." Eddie Murphy's brother, Charlie Murphy, is also an actor, most recently famous for his role in "Chappell's Show." In 2016, Murphy won the Hollywood Career Achievement Award.
