William James Murray who we all know as Bill Murray is a 71-year-old American actor, comedian, and writer who first got his recognition on Saturday Night Live back in 1975. That role alone landed him an Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing in a Comedy-Variety or Music Series, with many more awards to come in his future. His stint on SNL, which went on from 1977 to 2018, really was the stepping stone to his phenomenal career on the big screen that we all know today.
