Eddie Murphy
Eddie Murphy is a brilliant example of an actor who used his voice to break out in Hollywood. Saturday Night Live, where he was a frequent cast member in the early 1980s, saw him rise to prominence. However, Eddie Murphy hasn’t confined himself to any one genre; thus, he has experience with animated films as well.
In the Disney classic Mulan, Eddie Murphy plays Mushu, Mulan’s guardian, and spiritual guide. Murphy has appeared in many films, including Shrek, The Nutty Professor, Daddy Day Care, and Coming to America. One interesting fact is that Eddie Murphy has ten children; it’s clear he’s a very busy man between his acting career and being a father of 10. It also helps to explain his affinity for children’s films and family entertainment!
