Bill Murray reveals his regret at turning down a movie with Clint Eastwood. Murray still regularly appears in comedies and independent dramas, but he will be best known to many audiences for a variety of roles in the '80s and '90s. The former SNL cast member starred in movies like Caddyshack (1980), Stripes (1981), Ghostbusters (1984), and Groundhog Day (1993). Despite his long and impressive resume, Murray has never collaborated with Eastwood, who got his start as an actor in the '50s and '60s before becoming equally well known for his directing work. 6f6r3x

Bill Murray has had a prolific career over the last several decades. Getting his start in Chicago's improvisational comedy group Second City in the 1970s, he got his start in comedy. He then made his feature film debut in a tiny voice acting role in the movie Tarzoon: Shame of the Jungle before later becoming a Saturday Night Live cast member in 1977. Murray was a key face on SNL during the show's early years, playing a role in the series from 1977 to 1980.

Hollywood comedy legend Bill Murray paid a fitting tribute to former collaborator and fellow comedian Chevy Chase during Saturday Night Live's Weekend Update, despite their infamous feud. Murray and Chase were two of the most prominent comedic performers of the 1970s and 1980s, starring on Saturday Night Live, as well as acting together in Caddyshack. Famously, the pair had a physical altercation during the taping of a 1978 episode of SNL, where they came to blows backstage, and had to be separated by fellow actor and comedian John Belushi.

Most of Bill Murray’s best movies are all about subtlety and timing, making him one of the most distinctive actors in film history. Judging by his repertoire, the actor shines by playing flawed, often cynical people who seem like they’re just barely holding it together. However, Murray somehow adds just enough charm to them to make them lovable. His ability to balance sarcasm, wit, and genuine sincerity brought classics like Groundhog Day and Lost in Translation to life.

From an incredible Cinderella story to the notorious burn “This man has no d***,” Bill Murray has brought plenty of hilarious, quotable lines to all his classic movies. Murray first broke out when he was cast to replace Chevy Chase on Saturday Night Live in 1977. After a couple of years on the show, he quickly transitioned to the big screen with starring roles in Meatballs, Caddyshack, and Stripes. Murray promptly became one of the most beloved comedy movie stars in the world.

Wes Anderson is known to have a rotating set of recurring actors in his arsenal for the ensemble casts in his films, and yet one of the filmmaker's most frequent collaborators sat out of his 2023 movie (but will return in Anderson's next project next to another familiar face). Anderson began his feature film directorial career with the 1996 crime comedy Bottle Rocket, which thrust him into the spotlight. He went on to become one of the most influential directors of the 21st century, as Anderson has released numerous critically acclaimed movies and received eight Oscar nominations (and one win).

Featuring the talents of comedy movie legends like Woody Harrelson and Bill Murray, the Farrelly brothers' Kingpinis an underrated gem in the directing duo's filmography. Released in 1996, the film centers on Roy Munson (Harrelson), a disgraced professional bowling champion who trains newcomer Amish bowler Ismael Boorg (Randy Quaid) for the Reno championship. Along the way, Roy comes up against Ernie "Big Earn" McCracken (Murray), his bowling rival who's responsible for Roy's career nosedive.

Wes Anderson and Bill Murray are set to collaborate again for their tenth movie together. Murray has been acting in Anderson’s films ever since he was in Rushmore in 1998. Most recently, the actor played a role in the director’s 2021 film The French Dispatch.

Following allegations of sexual misconduct against Bill Murray, acclaimed director and longtime collaborator Wes Anderson now defends the actor. Murray has worked with Anderson on nine films in total, including Rushmore, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and The French Dispatch, and is also widely known for starring in Ghostbusters and Groundhog Day. Murray was formally accused of sexual misconduct last year on the set of Aziz Ansari's now-cancelled film Being Mortal.

The movie Being Mortal has shut down production, reportedly due to a complaint against its star Bill Murray. The film will also star Aziz Ansari and mark the Parks and Recreation actor's directorial debut. The movie is based on the nonfiction book Being Mortal: Medicine and What Matters in the End by Atul Gawande, which was also made into an Emmy-nominated documentary in 2015.
