Charlie Murphy's rapid evolution from "Eddie Murphy's brother/bodyguard" and "Chappelle's Show" cast member to top-billed international comedian, playing to sold-out audiences around the globe, has been remarkable. He has spent the past five years performing his critically acclaimed stand-up and solidifying his position in Hollywood as a true acting talent, in his own right.
In 2004, he embarked on the national "I'm Rich Bitch" comedy tour, featuring fellow "Chappelle's Show" cast members Bill Burr and Donnell Rawlings. "Charlie Murphy and Friends" and a co-headlining tour with Mike Epps followed. More recently, Murphy co-headlined on the 20-city "Maxim/Bud Light Real Men of Comedy Tour" with Joe Rogan and John Heffron.
Charlie has worked with top Hollywood talent such as Denzel Washington, Halle Berry, Eddie Murphy, Danny Aiello, Terrance Howard, Gabrielle Union, Queen Latifah, Vanessa Williams, Rip Torn, Peter Falk, Redd Fox, Angela Bassett, Wesley Snipes, Jamie Foxx, Samuel Jackson and Sammy Davis, Jr.
Feature films have included "A Perfect Holiday", "Kings Ransom," "Roll Bounce," Chris Rock's hip-hop parody classic "CB4", Spike Lee's "Jungle Fever" and "Mo' Betta Blues," Eddie Murphy's "Harlem Nights" and "Vampire in Brooklyn," for which Charlie was also credited as a writer. Murphy's latest writing endeavor, "Norbit" opened at #1 at the box office. Additional writing credits include a remake of "The Incredible Shrinking Man" and "Paper Soldiers" for Jay-Z's Rockafella Films and "Tales of the Dogg," an animated pilot for Snoop Dogg and MTV. Other recent projects include BET's "We Gotta Do Better", and films such as "Bar Starz," "Unearthed," "Night at the Museum," "Twisted Fortune" and "The Hustle."
Charlie wrote, produced, and starred in a series of webisodes for Sony Entertainment which were released in February of 2009. He is currently starring in a multi-media advertising campaign for Nike's Air Jordan brand, featuring Charlie as long time Jordan nemesis/inspiration Leroy Smith. His autobiographical book entitled "The Making of a Stand Up Guy", published by Simon and Schuster, hits stores on December 1st 2009, and his stand-up special DVD is due on Comedy Central and in stores in Feb. 2010.
Charlie recently wrapped filming on 'Lottery Ticket' with Bow Wow, 'The Cookout 2' with Faizon Love, and Fox Searchlight's 'Family Wedding,' a hilarious new comedy co-starring Forest Whitaker, America Ferrara, Carlos Mencia, and Taye Diggs.
