Biographie
Eddie Murphy is the most commercially successful African-American actor in the history of the motion picture business and is one of the industry’s top-five box-office performers overall. At the tender age of 50, Murphy is on the very short list of actors who have starred in multiple $100-million pictures over the past three decades, from Beverly Hills Cop to Daddy Day Care.
He is also the voice of Donkey in the Oscar®-winning animated film Shrek and its sequel Shrek 2, which is the top-grossing animated film of all time. Murphy won an Annie Award and earned BAFTA and MTV Movie Award nominations for his performance in the first Shrek, and recently reprised the role of Donkey in the final installment of the hugely successful franchise, Shrek Forever After.
Murphy began his career as a stand-up comedian as a teenager. In 1980, at the age of 19, he joined the cast of Saturday Night Live and has since gone on to establish a successful career on the big screen.
His films have been some of the highest-grossing comedies in the industry, among them 48 Hrs., Trading Places, Dr. Dolittle, Coming to America and the Beverly Hills Cop franchise. Murphy garnered Golden Globe Award nominations for Best Performance by an Actor in a Motion Picture - Comedy or Musical for his performances in Beverly Hills Cop, Trading Places and 48 Hrs.
In 1989, Murphy made his directorial debut with Harlem Nights, a period comedy he also wrote and starred in, opposite Richard Pryor and Redd Foxx. In addition, Murphy starred in and produced the hit comedy Life, co-starring Martin Lawrence, and starred opposite Steve Martin in the comedy Bowfinger. He was also the voice of Mushu the dragon in the successful animated epic Mulan.
In 1996, Murphy portrayed seven different characters in the worldwide box-office smash The Nutty Professor, for which he received another Golden Globe Award nomination. He added a character to play a total of eight roles in the sequel Nutty Professor II: The Klumps, co-starring Janet Jackson. His more recent films include Dr. Dolittle 2, Daddy Day Care, The Haunted Mansion and the romantic comedy Norbit, in which he played three characters and served as the film’s producer and screenwriter.
In 2007, Murphy received rave reviews and critical acclaim for his portrayal of James “Thunder” Early in the DreamWorks film Dreamgirls, a performance for which he garnered Golden Globe, Screen Actors Guild and Critics’ Choice Awards for Best Supporting Actor, as well as his first Academy Award® nomination in the same category.
