Bill Murray

and he saw much success that same year in Caddyshack. Following that comedy hit, the tall, sarcastic comedian won over audiences with Ghostbusters. Murray was recognized as an enigmatic comedian with a talent for improvisation. He flashed hints of his dramatic prowess in 1984's Razor's Edge but returned to his moneymaking comedy in the early 1990s, scoring hits with What About Bob? (1991) and Groundhog Day (1993). Though recognized for his work as Polonius in a modernized Hamlet in 2000, and Bosley in Charlie's Angels that same year, Murray gained real acclaim in 2001 after playing Raleigh St. Clair in The Royal Tenenbaums. This role set off a long string of successful dramatic roles (save his voice-over work for Garfield in 2004), highlighted by an Oscar-nominated performance as Bob Harris in Lost in Translation in 2003. Further exciting roles in The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou and Broken Flowers (winner of the Grand Prix at the 2005 Cannes International Film Festival) have cemented Murray as a top-tier actor in Hollywood. On a personal note, Bill Murray is the father of six boys; he had two sons with ex-wife Mickey Kelley and four sons with current wife Jennifer Butler.
