This e-single covers the on- and off-screen life of Bill Murray, one of the entertainment industry's most versatile players and creator of dozens of immortal characters. Murray made his name as comedic actor, beginning at The Second City in Chicago and as part of the early cast of "e;Saturday Night Live,"e; where he most famously portrayed Nick, an untalented airport lounge singer. He found early success on film playing unhinged underachievers in "e;Meatballs,"e; "e;Caddyshack"e; and "e;Stripes,"e; then anchored a series of blockbusters in "e;Ghostbusters,"e; "e;Scrooged"e; and "e;Groundhog Day."e; In the late 1990s and early 2000s, he found success in more sympathetic roles in films such as "e;Lost in Translation,"e; and "e;Rushmore,"e; his first of several Wes Anderson's films. In his personal life, Murray is equally idiosyncratic: He's an avid golfer and sports fanatic, owns stakes in several minor league baseball teams, and is the rare actor who operates outside the typical rules of Hollywood, working without an agent or manager.
