Biography

Bill Murrary’s original name was William James Murray and he was born in Evanston, Illinois, on September 21st, 1950. He grew up in a large Irish-Catholic family in a suburb of Chicago with two other siblings, but his father died when he was just 17 years old. Therefore his father could not see his three children’s success. However, when Bill was a teenager, he was a frequent performer in the theater productions at his high school.

Murray’s life took a turn for the worse after high school. Before long, he was back at his parents’ house, having dropped out of pre-medical school. His arrest at Chicago’s O’Hare airport at the age of 20 allegedly stemmed from the discovery of 10 pounds of marijuana in his luggage. Despite his conviction, he was spared jail time and instead placed on probation.

Murray was able to study under Del Close, who was a cast member of ‘The Second City’ in Chicago, when he joined his brother in the show. As a result of this, he decided to become an actor.

To join “The National Lampoon Radio Hour,” he flew to New York. After appearing in an off-Broadway production of a “National Lampoon” show, Murray was approached by the producers of “Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell” to appear in a sketch on the show.

When he appeared in the box office smash ‘Meatballs’ in 1979, he made his film debut. ‘Where the Buffalo’s Roam,’ a film in which he played Hunter S. Thompson, followed it.

As a co-writer and actor on “The Razor’s Edge,” he made his feature film debut in 1984. Because of his dissatisfaction with the film’s reception, he took a four-year break from acting and only appeared in cameo roles.

Scrooged marked his comeback to the big screen in 1988. The following year, ‘Ghostbusters II’ was released. With Howard Franklin, he co-directed the film “Quick Change.”

‘Meatballs,’ Bill Murray’s breakout film, was a critical and commercial success. ‘Caddyshack’, ‘Stripes’, and ‘Tootsie’ were all box office successes following it. “Ghostbusters” was his most popular film.

“Hyde Park on Hudson” (2012) saw him play President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Wes Anderson also cast him in Moonrise Kingdom.

Bill Murray garnered more dramatic roles after “Rushmore,” and he and Wes Anderson collaborated on “The Royal Tenenbaums.” “Lost in Translation,” which premiered in 2003 and featured Scarlett Johansson as a young actress, was perhaps his most critically acclaimed role.

He ventured onto the big screen even more with the series franchise “Charlie’s Angels” and providing the voice of “Garfield” in several films. However, his most well-known role during this time period was as the title character in Wes Anderson’s “The Life Aquatic.”

After the release of “The Life Aquatic,” Murray took a break from acting for the second time in a few decades. He returned to Wes Anderson’s films in 2009, this time as Mr. Badger in “Fantastic Mr. Fox,” an animated film. He went on to play Baloo in the 2016 animated film “The Jungle Book.” Wes Anderson’s next animated film, “Isle of Dogs,” featured Murray as a voice actor, and he continued to find success in voice acting roles. “The French Dispatch” was announced to feature Murray in 2019, and he was scheduled to appear in Anderson’s next film.

Their second restaurant, located inside the Crowne Plaza Rosemont Hotel near O’Hare International Airport, opened in 2018 as well. The restaurants have a golf theme and are family-friendly; they are not the exclusive, pricey restaurants often associated with celebrity owners.

Legal Issues

Using one of the band’s songs in a commercial for his William Murray golf clothing line has prompted an attempt by a Doobie Brothers lawyer to compel actor Bill Murray to compensate the band.

The lawyer, Peter T. Paterno, wrote in a letter to Mr. Murray on Wednesday, “We’d almost be OK with it if the shirts weren’t so damn ugly.”

“Caddyshack” star and Pebble Beach pro-am tournament participant Conrad Murray, who co-founded the company with his brothers in 2017, has a long history in the golf industry.

As a representative of the Doobie Brothers, Mr. Paterno claimed that in an advertisement for Zero Hucks Given $50 polo, Mr. Murray had used the upbeat song “Listen to the Music,” which had peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard chart in 1972.
