Charlie Murphy
Biography
Charlie Murphy made his name as an American stand-up comic, actor and magician. Born in Brooklyn, he began with a brief boyhood scene in The Landlord and took minor film roles through the late 1980s and early 1990s. He also worked behind the scenes with the hip hop duo K-9 Posse, earning an executive producer credit on their 1988 debut album and writing two of its songs. His first major movie part was the antagonist Gusto in CB4 (1993). Wider notice arrived with his recurring work on Chappelle's Show, especially the sketches known as Charlie Murphy's True Hollywood Stories, and when Dave Chappelle left, Murphy and Donnell Rawlings hosted the compiled lost episodes. He lent his voice to Budweiser radio spots, Ed Wuncler III on The Boondocks and Lloyd the dog in Norbit, which he also co-wrote. Later he had a Crackle sketch series, Charlie Murphy's Crash Comedy, and a Comedy Central stand-up special.
