I know that if you want him in a movie or something he has an answering machine that you just leave your pitch on and he'll get back if he's interested, lol.
Had to be a friend of a friend or agent that chased this down.
Murray is about as anti-Hollywood as it gets. Walks to the beat of his own drum. His son is assistant college basketball coach at UConn and was at Louisville when Chris Mack was here. Bill was at most of the games and sat in regular seats, like any normal person.
its pretty good so far
It is worth remembering that Bill is basically always working.
There are some great Bill Murray stories. My favorite was someone was eating at a Wendy's or some other fast food restaurant. They had their head down just minding their business at eating. All the sudden a hand comes in and grabs a fry. The person looked up and it was Bill Murray. Bill said, "no one will ever believe you," then ate the fry. Guy is genuinely funny. I was surprised this episode wasn't hilarious, but few laughs were to be had.
They have incredible doctors due to their success, but all these guys are our dad's age or older. They are frozen in time for us because we've seen all their works 50 times. But they're all pretty old. Bill could easily be next. Not like they were living clean...
I love when guys like Murray show up on JRE but a lot of times Joe doesn't ask the questions I would so it often feels like a missed opportunity. Murray mentioned Chevy Chase when they were briefly talking about injuries and it just got glossed over. There is a LOT of meat on that bone.
I still haven't finished this one - maybe another 45 minutes to go. It's solid and worth a listen - but feels lacking so far.
He really had the perfect Garfield voice. So monotone. He should remake it and get someone brilliant to write it.
Hope they gave him notes for the name of his upcoming movies, fellow actors and directors.
Like you said, he may have only a few left or this is it.
