Brian Doyle-Murray was born on 31 October 1945 in Chicago, Illinois, USA. He is an actor and writer, known for Caddyshack (1980), JFK (1991) and Groundhog Day (1993). He has been married to Christina Stauffer since 28 August 2000.- Although this wonderfully witty, enormously talented, classically trained theatre actor was unable to transition his award-winning theatre stardom to major twilight screen notice, South-African thespian Brian Murray nevertheless did receive late-blooming adulation for several stirring performances.
Born Brian Bell on September 10, 1937, in Johannesburg, the stage actor/director attended King Edward VII School. It must have been a sign as he became a Shakespearean titan in later years. Making his stage bow in 1950 as "Taplow" in "The Browning Version," he continued on the South African stage in such roles as "Bus Stop' and "The Diary of Anne Frank" until 1957. Though he made his film debut fairly early in his career with The League of Gentlemen (1960) and showed strong promise and presence in The Angry Silence (1960) and as a radio announcer, editor and director, his first passion was the theatre and instead chose to join the Royal Shakespeare Company where his impressively youthful gallery of credits included those of "Romeo" in Romeo and Juliet, "Horatio" in Hamlet, "Cassio" in Othello, "Edgar" in King Lear and "Lysander" in A Midsummer Night's Dream."
Developing an international reputation, Broadway (off- and on-) took notice of this mighty thespian and utilized his gifts luxuriously well over the years in such plays as "All in Good Time" (debut), "Noises Off," "Ashes," "Da," "A Small Family Business," "Uncle Vanya," "Sleuth" and "The Rivals," earning three Tony Award nominations for his sterling performances in "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead," "The Little Foxes" and "The Crucible." Two of Brian's later stage roles, that of "Sir Toby Belch" in "Twelfth Night" and "Claudius" in "Hamlet", were taken to TV/film. The actor/director also appeared in 70s and 80s radio drama for the National Radio Theater and was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame in 2004. Millennium stage roles would include "Me, Myself and I," "A Song at Twilight," "The Importance of Being Earnest" and his last, "Simon Says," in 2016.
Into the millennium, Brian enjoyed a nice change of pace and in the voicing of the flamboyant role of "John Silver" in the animated feature, Treasure Planet (2002). He was subsequently featured in such films as Dream House (2011) and In the Family (2011), and made guest appearances on such TV shows as "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," "30 Rock," "The Good Wife" and "Person of Interest." After a notable absence on the screen, he returned to make a final T.V. appearance as "Sir Walter" in A Bread Factory, Part One (2018) and A Bread Factory, Part Two (2018) shortly before his death at age 80 on August 20, 2018, in New York City. - Art Department
