Richard Pryor's comedic son & the greatest player to come off of the SNL set. However, if you are not familiar with his early work, you probably would not appreciate his talent. Eddie has three types of works: 1. The selfless, like Bowfinger 2. The arogant. Like Hey I'm Eddie Murphy (now laugh mutha f*@%*%) 3. The Big Paycheck: Hey I'm Eddie Murphy getting paid (I don't care if it's not funny -- got your $8.00 though). I think his work on SNL is his best, Bowfinger his best work in the last several years.
