Eddie Murphy is another talented comedian. The audience loves him especially because of his performances on Saturday Night Live during the 1980s. He has done stand-up comedy for a long time and then went on to work in movies like – Beverly Hills Cop, Coming to America, Dr Dolittle, and The Nutty Professor. But he broke all the notions associated with fitting the mold of a comedy actor with his role in the 2006 movie – Dreamgirls. In this movie, he portrays the role of an old singer and he did so with such authenticity that he won a Golden Globe for it.
